This kayaking expedition in Vila Franca do Campo invites you to venture to a remarkable islet situated off the northeastern coastline of São Miguel, where you will have the opportunity to snorkel in its crystal-clear waters.
Exploring by Kayak in Vila Franca do Campo
We will gather at the Vila Franca do Campo Marina at the designated time, ready to embark on an unforgettable kayaking tour to the eponymous islet.
Following a concise introduction, we'll equip ourselves with kayaks and paddles, setting off onto the inviting waters surrounding São Miguel. Our journey will trace the contours of this intriguing volcanic island, led by our expert guide.
As we navigate, your guide will share captivating insights about the geological history of this islet, known as the Azores archipelago's hidden gem. You’ll discover that the islet is actually the caldera of a submerged volcano and learn about its alternate name, the 'Anel da Princesa' or 'Princess Ring'.
This kayaking route spans approximately 5 kilometers (3.1 miles), and during our journey, we'll pause to allow you to plunge into the Atlantic Ocean and snorkel! This experience will give you a chance to observe the vibrant marine life inhabiting the area.
Upon completion of our exploration, we’ll return to our starting point, wrapping up a delightful three-hour journey filled with adventure.
