Whale Watching Tour + Vila Franca Islet: Full-day with lunch
Duration
7 Hour
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! Highlights: - Whale and dolphin watching tour with marine biologists - Learn about marine species and conservation during the briefing - Cruise the Atlantic in search of whales, dolphins, and more - Visit Vila Franca Islet, a protected volcanic crater island - Swim or snorkel in the islet’s natural lagoon (seasonal access)
