Description
Spot whales and dolphins in their natural habitat on a guided tour in São Miguel. Enjoy a restaurant lunch in Vila Franca, then visit the famous Vila Franca Islet, where you can swim and snorkel.
This tour combines two of São Miguel’s most iconic experiences in one seamless day: ethical whale watching guided by marine biologists and a visit to the stunning, volcanic Vila Franca Islet.
Few tours offer this mix of ocean wildlife and time to swim or relax inside a volcanic crater lagoon. You'll be guided by knowledgeable staff throughout, enjoy a tasty lunch, and explore a protected nature reserve that’s only accessible by boat.
It's the perfect balance of adventure, learning, and relaxation—all in one unforgettable day by sea and land!
