Departing from Vila Franca do Campo, this experience, lasting between 2 and 2.5 hours, takes you not only around the stunning Vila Franca do Campo Islet, but also along the south coast of São Miguel, with stops at some of the region's best beaches and bays (such as Praia da Amora, Praia do Tufo, Praia da Pedreira, Costa da Caloura, and Ponta da Galera, among others), which are known for their crystal-clear waters and unique coastal landscapes. Along the way, you will discover hidden spots and exclusive areas accessible only by sea.

Before the tour starts, you will be welcomed at the Grená Ocean Tours Welcome Centre, a space designed for your comfort, where you will have your first contact with our team. Here, you can get answers to any questions you may have and prepare for the experience at your own pace. The centre offers bathrooms, changing rooms, hot showers, free Wi-Fi, and a lounge area with poufs for relaxing, as well as drinks, snacks, and souvenirs.

During the tour, you will be accompanied by a marine biologist, who will guide you through an enriching experience of observing the local fauna and flora, coastal species, seabirds, and more.
As you cruise around the islet and along the south coast, the skipper, a true local expert, will share stories, interesting facts, and insights about the formation of the islet, the cultural importance of the south coast, and hidden details that can only be seen from the sea.

Throughout the experience, you will also have the opportunity to enjoy snorkelling at carefully selected locations, where the clear and calm waters reveal a rich marine life and underwater volcanic formations, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced snorkellers. With high-quality equipment included and professional supervision throughout the entire activity, your safety and comfort are guaranteed at all times.
