Everything begins at the marina of Ponta Delgada, where years of expertise and dedication are shared in a safety briefing that emphasizes respect for marine life and the living science of the ocean. What follows is three hours at sea, filled with close encounters—whether with magnificent whales or playful pods of dolphins. The team’s photos and videos will help preserve these unforgettable memories.

A stop at the marina of Vila Franca do Campo offers the chance to enjoy the flavors of traditional Azorean cuisine. From there, a short fifteen-minute crossing brings you to an islet whose almost untouched beauty has earned it the name “The Princess’s Ring.” Inside this natural sanctuary, a circular volcanic lagoon welcomes you with crystal-clear waters, perfect for snorkeling, while the cliffs and rocky slopes provide refuge for rare seabirds. After this remarkable experience, you return to Ponta Delgada.
