An hour of snorkelling around the Vila Franca islet, a flooded crater off the south coast, with suit, mask and fins handed out and a guide explaining the place on the way over. You stay in the water; landing on the islet is not allowed. 4.83 from 71 reviews at €27 per person.
Discover the charm of Villa Franca do Campo underwater! After a brief preparation and delivery of all the necessary equipment — suit, mask and sticks — embark towards the island, while the Guide shares instructions and curiosities about this unique place in the Azores.
In the crystal clear waters, snorkel between volcanic formations and discover an incredible diversity of marine life: colorful fish, sea stars, crabs, seaweed and dwarfs. For an even more exciting experience, choose to rent a SeaScooter, which will allow you to explore the ocean floor with ease and fun.
At the end, enjoy a short walk around the island before returning to the marina — an unforgettable adventure between sea, nature and discovery.
