Overview:
Snorkeling in the sea in São Miguel, Azores. We snorkel from a boat, ensuring a supervised and relaxed way to enjoy marine life. We begin with a brief explanation of the basic concepts of apnea, the equipment, and swimming techniques. Then we have a theoretical and practical session, where we explain safety procedures in the sea. This can be done around the Natural Reserve of Vila Franca do Campo Islet, close to the wrecked cannons from the 16th century. The total activity time is around 2 hours and 30 minutes, with 1 hour in water! Come and see what the underwater world has to offer you with the greatest comfort and safety.

A very relaxing and well organized experience. The boat ride to the islet was short but scenic, and once in the water the visibility was excellent. Even without previous snorkeling experience, it felt manageable thanks to the clear instructions and support.

Beautiful setting and calm conditions. The natural formation of the islet makes it feel protected and unique.

What stood out most was the variety of marine life visible so close to the surface. Swimming along the volcanic rock walls gave a completely different perspective of the islet. The guide Sofia pointed out species we would have otherwise missed, which made the experience more engaging.
