I highly recommend the Oceaneye snorkelling trip. We were fortunate to have the very knowledgeable Tiago, a marine biologist in the water with us and were looked after on board by the wonderfully warm skipper/captain, Edmundo. Both provided us with lots of facts and stories as we went around the island, and on our return, Edmundo treated us to a very tasty local drink. Would have done the Oceaneye Glass Bottom boat too but we ran out of time.

The snorkeling activity was essential, in addition we counted on some kayaks to go to Ilha do Campo, which was very fun to do. The team served us with great sympathy and provided us with the necessary material in excellent condition. 100% recommended

We kayaked and snorkeled at a good price, the workers very nice and enjoyed it a lot. We could visit the islet of Vila franca and there were many fish.

We had the pleasure of diving in the Azores and seeing many different species of fish thanks to Oceans Eye. Both Captain Edmund and Monitor Nuno were very friendly.

We took a walk with the Ocean Eye and we loved it. We drove kayak to the island and then we snorkelled. We saw several fish in the area near the island entrance and it was an amazing experience. We took a walk for two that was very worth it! I recommend, it is an activity that everyone should try with this Enterprise, not to mention the fantastic team 😍 Thank you for providing unique moments!!

Wonderful experience ! While my daughter was a little nervous to try the snorkeling (she’s not the most confident swimmer) she had a blast on the boat with my husband and the wonderful skipper. A beautiful tour, and we appreciated learning about some of the history of the area in addition to all we learned about the marine life. I snorkeled and absolutely loved it! Allow for extra time as the tour does sometimes go over- embrace the “island time!” 😄 a highlight of our trip to the Azores. Definitely recommend !
