Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had the most amazing experience for our company offsite. The team had everything planned with so much care and detail, tailored to the spirit of our company. All the Big blue team was fantastic with great energy and friendliness. We enjoyed some amazing views in Sagres, fun activities like surfing, hiking and biking, had delicious food and drinks.
Thank you Big Blue Adventures team for an unforgettable experience ❤️

Our guide Vasco made the trip informative and fun. He knew a lot about a lot and sprinkled the day with tales and history, all with infectious humor.

Hi there, thanks for the nice feedback. But unfortunately this is for the wrong Big Blue Adventures! We do not operate in the Azores...

My brother organised to go coasteering for my stag with big blue adventures.
It was a logistical nightmare as we had people coming from Australia,USA,Ireland and basically the four corners of the world so I must thank the admin team for their patience with the numbers attending constantly changing!
Our group was led by the legendary Nuno who aswell as being a gentleman was great banter and just seamlessly fell in with the big group of lads we had.
Everything is looked after from pick up,transport,equipment,food and most importantly for the lads a couple of beers!
Would highly recommend and thanks again to Nuno.🤝

BBA planned our company's Lisbon offsite and it was honestly the best experience. It was a group of 11 of us and BBA was professional, fun, and very accommodating. To start off, we had a very detailed planning call and we could tell that Steven and his team really cared and listened to all of our wants/needs. Leading up to the offsite, BBA was very organized: creating a slack channel for our company to relay information as well as sending our a form for all of us to fill out regarding our meals. They were very accommodating and helped us with airport transfers to our hotel and then from our hotel to the airport when our team left.
During the trip, Hannah and Nuno provided the best experience. From meeting us at the hotel with our swag bags filled with wonderful gifts to helping us get from one place to another - they were both kind and friendly. The only feedback we have is that the pre-ordering of our meals felt a bit limiting. We totally understood the why but in the moment, some of our team members didn't remember what they ordered or didn't feel like eating what they ordered weeks ago. If there was some type of flexibility with that for any future excursions with BBA, that would totally be a level up for us at Plenty.
Overall, a 10/10 experience and would love to book with BBA again! :)

Thanks so much Amira for taking the time to leave us your positive feedback! We're thrilled that you and the team had such an amazing company offsite with Hannah and Nuno in Lisbon, and that we were able to help take some of the stress of organising off your hands. Feedback noted and we always appreciate these notes as we strive for 100%! We would love to see the team on more adventures again in the future :)

Amazing team! I would recommend Big Blue to anyone, who is looking for a well organised trip. Everyone in the team is very friendly and active. Extra props to Jake the camera man for that double-gainer from the pier!

Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciate it. It was another great offsite with your team, and it's always good to hear about your favourite parts. Jake is an awesome videographer and an even better show-boater :) Hopefully we see you again in the future!

Big Blue organized a Management retreat in Madeira for our team of 25 managers in June 2023, and I must express how delighted we were with their services. Collaborating with Big Blue was an extremely pleasant experience. They showed a remarkable level of professionalism and expressed exceptional soft skills. Their meticulous approach and attention to detail were evident throughout the planning and execution of the event.
Big Blue's dedication to ensuring every participant had an unforgettable experience was commendable. They handled unexpected challenges with precision and professionalism, displaying their ability to manage unforeseen circumstances seamlessly.
Moreover, they invested considerable effort in understanding our company's specific needs, and their success in catering to our requirements was evident to all. Our team unanimously agreed that this retreat was the best one we've had so far, and it was all thanks to the expertise and dedication of Big Blue Adventure.
