Sea Turtle Snorkeling Tour in São Pedro, Cape Verde
This guided snorkeling tour in São Pedro suits nature enthusiasts seeking a safe and personal marine experience near the cruise port or city center.
Description
After a 15-minute transfer from the cruise port or your hotel, you arrive at São Pedro beach where sea turtles gather. An expert tour guide provides a safety briefing and instructions before you board a wooden boat to enter the sea. Dozens of curious turtles, both young and adult, approach the boat. This is the ideal time to snorkel, guided individually by your tour leader.
By law, snorkeling time with the turtles is limited to 20 minutes to prevent stress on the animals. If you wish to extend your time in the water, you can arrange a later transfer through GetYourGuide at your own expense. After the snorkeling session, you return to your pickup location by vehicle.
