Islet of Vila Franca do Campo

Enjoy a Whale Watching tour, local food lunch at a village restaurant, and ferry on a traditional fishing boat to explore the Princess Ring Islet – a Full Day!

The day starts with a short informative briefing introducing you to Cetaceans (Whales and Dolphins), local species, their natural habitat, communication, migration, behavioral patterns, and onboard safety.

Everyone will board their designated boat for an approximately 3-hour Whale Watching tour. You will then return to the Marina for lunch local food at a local seafront village restaurant – at walking distance from our Marina.
