Full-Day Whales & The Princess Ring Islet (incl. Lunch)

Meet us at the Marina of Vila Franca do Campo for check-in at the specified time.

The day starts with a short briefing on Cetaceans (Whales and Dolphins), local species, behavioral patterns, and onboard safety. Everyone will then follow the Guide and Skipper to their designated boat for an approximately 3-hour Marine Wildlife tour.

At 11:30 it is time to return for a local food lunch at a seafront village restaurant - at walking distance.

At 13:30 meet us back to be provided with snorkeling gear, and a ticket to travel 10 minutes on a converted traditional fishing boat to the islet’s inside, now self-guided and free to explore the natural reserve Princess Ring, just outside the Marina of Vila Franca do Campo, and perfect for exploring, bathing, swimming and snorkeling.

From then, boats depart back to the Marina on every hour until 17:30 - be sure not to miss it! We’ll be waiting for you at our Base for check-out and returning your snorkeling gear.

Know before you go - eat light and bring personal water supply, swimsuit, towel, warm clothing, sunscreen and chapstick. Light food is permitted, a camera is essential - protect any personal equipment.
