Circle by boat around the Islet of Vila Franca do Campo – off the southern coast of São Miguel island in Azores, to see and learn about the beautiful submerged Vila Franca do Campo volcano’s pass geology and living habitat!

The tour starts with a short briefing introducing the islet’s geology and wildlife, the nature reserve’s, and boat safety. Follow the Guide and Skipper to your designated transport vessel, a boat for 5-minute travel by sea to the Islet.

Enjoy a boat exploration to see and admire the volcanic marvel and its notorious geological features and seasonal highlights of marine life, with an enchanting narrative while circling Vila Franca do Campo Islet.

A beautiful exposed relic of an oceanic volcanic cone and unique wildlife-thriving maritime sanctuary heavenly sculpted by the forces of sea and seismic activity, for Birds and Fish to even Lightfoot Crabs, it is especially life-rich from Fall to Spring! It is also a prominent influential factor in Vila Franca do Campo and the island’s history, a representation in Sao Miguel of the resilient embrace of life on the edge of the Atlantic.

Your guide will keep you informed on what you are observing and is available for any specific questions – feel free to ask! After the boat tour it is time to head back to the Marina for check-out.
