Whale Watching Tour + Vila Franca Islet: Full-day with lunch
+4 photos
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)
