Exceptional discovery and conviviality. - Edmundo and his partner, as well as the little girl who welcomed us at the local met all our expectations, even more... Exceptional snacking with fish and waves tumult, beautiful explanations of the history of the Azores and its heritage, conviviality on board with piloting bonus.... Everything was perfect... We would have kayaked the next day if we didn't have to go home unfortunately. Thank you for your welcome. A candle will be placed at the "Good Mother" of Marseille as promised to Edmundo.

The highlight of our trip - Edmundo and Nuno were the best hosts we could have asked for! They were so personable and knowledgeable, not only about the waters and marine life, but also about the history of their country and island. The glass bottom boat was very cool. We saw lots of sea-life. We tried snorkeling but our daughter was scared and wanted to go back to the boat. Nuno made sure she got there safely. My husband continued to snorkel with Nuno and had a great time. They saw crabs, sea urchins, eels, fish, star fish, jellyfish, etc. Edmundo was so great with all the kids on the boat and kept them entertained. Edmundo and Nuno felt like family and they will always have friends in the US. We hope they come visit!

Great experience . Recommended to all. - Fun experience and adventure. Lasted over 2.5 hours. Great captain and crew were always concerned with passenger's welfare , like sea sickness. Used necessary caution and care with the snorkeling portion of trip. Treated everyone to a drink after the trip. Very friendly and enthusiastic staff. Not too many fish to see but captain caught and let us hold sea urchins and crabs for photographs. Recommended !!!.

Awesome snorkeling - Snorkeling was AWESOME!!! We also enjoyed looking through the bottom of the boat, but would have been happy to spend less time on that part

A must have if you want to experience the sea of Azores - Amazing way to see the sea floor and experience the Azores sea. The captain and crew are so friendly and knowledgable of the sea and the island history, they explain the types of sea life that habitats the area and make a whole tour of the islet, in from of Vila Franca, and allow you to snorkel with a guide outside the islet and a bit inside (protected reserve so can go all the way in). They will show you crabs and starfish and the equipment is included with the price, mask, snorkel, fins, and neoprene suit. A definite must if you visit the island.

Beautiful trip - Had made a reservation and bought tickets for Friday 10/11 but there were high winds. I was called and asked if I’d like to change my tickets for Saturday, when the weather conditions would be much better. I’m so glad we did! The day was perfectly sunny. Crew was lively and fun. On the way out to the Islet, we learned the history of Sao Miguel, Villa Franca do Campo, and the Azorean culture. Snorkeling in the Princess ring was spectacular!

An Over All Great Experience - Crabs, fish, and snorkeling!! This was a great trip with friendly and knowledgeable guides, and great company on the boat. We got incredible views of the small island to the south of Sao Miguel both from the boat and in the water itself. We’d recommend going on a clear day, because the water was pretty choppy when stormy, but we still had a great time! Next time we’re on the Azores we will definitely come back.
