Whale and dolphin watching + Vila Franca Islet - full day

97.50€

From São Miguel

During this activity, you will most likely have the opportunity to see several marine species, such as dolphins, whales, birds and turtles.

Before boarding the biologists of Futurismo Azores Whale Watching will give a brief explanation of how the tour will be processed, the rules on board, the marine species that can be seen and how we respect the animals. During the ride each passenger is required to wear a life jacket (except on our catamaran).

Futurismo Azores Whale Watching also provides raincoats and trousers if required. After three hours at sea we stop at Vila Franca do Campo, the former capital of the island of São Miguel to have lunch at a local restaurant.

Then, already aboard a traditional fishing boat converted to transport people we set off towards the islet for the second stage of the day. The islet contains a great diversity of plant and fish species. They are all well preserved, much due to the classification as a natural reserve of the islet. You can snorkel inside the islet. Do not forget to bring your snorkel gear! The place is only visitable in the summer season, more concretely between June and September.

The return to our activity center in Ponta Delgada (marina) can be done by boat or van.
