Departing from Vila Franca do Campo, on this 1-hour experience you'll sail around this impressive islet of volcanic origin, known for its crater formation, turquoise waters and stunning coastal scenery. Along the way, you'll have access to hidden coves and exclusive areas that are only accessible by sea.
Before the activity starts, you will be welcomed at our support kiosk, located next to the wharf or jetty E of the marina – a space designed for your comfort, where you will have your first interaction with our team. Here, you can get answers to any questions you may have and prepare for the experience at your leisure. The space has a bathroom, a changing area, a hot shower, free internet, a relaxation area with beanbags, as well as drinks, snacks and souvenirs available.
During the tour, you will be accompanied by a biologist, who will guide you on an enriching experience observing the local fauna and flora, with a focus on seabirds (birdwatching), coastal species and the unique volcanic ecosystem of this nature reserve.
As you sail around the islet, the skipper, an expert on the area, will share stories, interesting facts and information about the formation of the islet, its cultural importance and the hidden secrets that can only be seen from the sea.
Throughout the experience, you will also have the opportunity to snorkel in carefully selected spots, where the calm, clear waters reveal rich marine life and underwater volcanic formations, ideal for both beginners and more experienced snorkellers.
With high-quality gear included and professional supervision throughout the entire activity, we guarantee complete safety and comfort.
