Yay! - It was such a fun activity! I definitely recommend it. Pedro and the Captain were super nice and helpful. Lots of nice fish, crabs, starfish and we even saw an octopus.

Spectacular - Excellent “private tour” because my partner and I only went by fast boat around the island and the coast of Vila franca do campo. Pedro was our guide and together with the pilot we made a spectacular tour of the area, where we could almost touch the rocks, the crabs, etc... Wonderful with the fauna and formations of the ilha, it is a highly recommended excursion. Now (2025) you can not swim on the islet and to enter you need permits, but the excursion is worth it....and you can also snorkel nearby

Fabulous experience!! - Our snorkeling trip with our guides Emanuel and Dominic was fabulous! It was just our family of three on the boat so it was a great experience. The area is so beautiful and we saw an octopus, eel, and many colorful fish. They gave us plenty of time to explore the area. I’ve been on several snorkeling trips and this was the best! Highly recommend!!

Oct morning snorkel - Pedro (guide) & Dominque were great. We spent about 45 minutes in the water, there was a stronger current that morning, and they managed expectations about this not being a coral reef so what we will see will be different. We also took the boat around the island. Equipment in good condition.

Snorkeling with Vila Watersports - We were outfitted with wet suits and all snorkel equipment before getting into a zodiac for the quick trip to the islet. The area for snorkeling is very small and it got quite crowded towards the end of our time. We did, however, see quite a few fish and 1 sea star in the 45 minutes we had in the water, which was enough time. The quick boat ride around the islet at the end fas fun. Ricardo and our captain were helpful and attentive.
