Kayak Azores - We loved this kayak tour! Bernardo was our guide and he was great! He is very knowledgeable of the islands and gave us great restaurant recommendations! A few things to note: the sea is not what I would call calm, I never get motion sickness and felt very motion sick on this tour, take some Dramamine before! The tour company provides a dry bag and a bag that goes around your neck for your phone. So safe yourself some space and leave those at home. They also offered us a muffin afterwards which was a nice surprise. Do yourself a favor and go on this tour!!

BEST kayak rental of Vila Franca! - Best kayak-rental of Vila Franca do Campo. Staff is really friendly and welcoming. The RTM Duo is an excellent 2 person kayak, along with the high quality extra gear they rent. Totally recommended!

Amazing, would do it again! - Amazing! Water was very poppy once we got out to the open water, so we came back. However they offered us a refund or a guided boat ride instead. We chose the boat tour and it was so worth it. Tiago was our guide and he amazing as a guide and just so informative about everything. We ate some fresh bananas and had some wine and hung around after just talking. Super experience!

Very well supervised and very friendly escorts and reception - Very nice view and beautiful crossing could not dock outside because of the waves but the passage inside was a bit sporty as well as to get out

Do Not Go With This Enterprise - Too bad, we booked to go by kaiac, and three hours earlier they called us that they canceled because of bad weather, told them if they could the next day and told us that neither. Offer us to take a 1-hour boat ride for the 195 euros we pay. We found another Enterprise We went kaiac and found that Enterprise was renting kaiacs and making outings We don't understand why they overruled us, we asked them for explanations and they don't know what to say. Better go to OCEANEYE !!!
