Departing from Vila Franca do Campo, on this 1-hour experience you will sail around this impressive islet of volcanic origin, known for its crater formation, turquoise waters, and breathtaking coastal scenery. Along the way, you will have access to hidden corners 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 contact with our team. Here you can get any questions answered and calmly prepare for the experience. The space has a bathroom, a changing area, a warm 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 through an enriching experience of observing the local fauna and flora, with a highlight on seabirds (birdwatching), coastal species, and the unique volcanic ecosystem of this nature reserve.

As you cruise around the islet, the skipper, who has in-depth knowledge of the area, will share stories, interesting facts, and details 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 go snorkelling in carefully selected locations, where the calm and transparent waters reveal a rich marine life and underwater volcanic formations, ideal for both beginners and more experienced snorkellers.
