Snorkeling Tour Ilhéu from Vila Franca do Campo

About this activity

Discover the magic of Ilhéu de Villa Franca do Campo from a completely different perspective – underwater! After a briefing and delivery of all necessary equipment. Dressed in neoprene, mask and spikes, embark towards the island while the Guide shares safety information and curiosities about this iconic natural monument of the Azores.

The snorkeling activity takes place in the waters surrounding the island (in its outer area), where you can explore crystal clear waters, volcanic rock formations and an incredible diversity of marine life, including colorful fish, sea stars, crabs, mores and ducks. The activity does not take place within the natural Reservation of the island, but in its surroundings.

For an even more exciting experience, you can choose to rent a SeaScooter.

At the end, enjoy a small boat ride around the island before returning to the marina, an unforgettable experience that combines sea, nature and discovery.
