Review of São Miguel’s glass-bottom boat and snorkeling tour, with marine biology, volcanic scenery, family-friendly swimming, and practical tips.
“We had a lot of fun, first we thought the snorkeling might be a bit short, cuz the Guide talked alot about Fish & Vegetation, but we had a long time in the Water und even beyond the 2hours we were busy close up to 3 hours. The guide kept us as a group during the trip in the water and frequently asked if anybody wants ro go back to the boat. The Captain was also quite funny and very friendly. Totaly recommend that tour!”

“Dit was de leukste ervaring sinds we op de Azoren zijn. De gids, Kamila is de meest enthousiaste en innemende gids die ik ooit heb gezien. Ze vertelde met zoveel plezier alles over het eiland Faial, de kust, vulkanen en bezienswaardigheden vanaf het water. Met de boot kom je op plekken waar je anders vanaf land nooit kan komen. Er absolute aanrader om deze tour te boeken!”
