Snorkeling in the Simão Dias Natural Pool (4 hours)

Once in the water, we'll see all kinds of species, such as turtles or tuna. We'll also see some peculiar shapes in the cracks of the rocks of the pool! After 1.5 hours of diving, you'll be able to investigate, rest and have a drink on your own before being taken to the collection point.
Snorkeling in Urzelina (4 hours)
After picking you up, we'll head to the municipality of Urzelina, to snorkel and explore the waters of the southern part of the island of Sao Jorge. With our gear on, we'll start a 1.5-hour tour to admire the volcanic basalt rocks, the cavities in the cliffs, and the colorful schools of fish - we might even spot a few dolphins! Afterwards, you can enjoy some free time to eat and relax before finishing the activity.
