El paseo en barco estuvo muy bien, bordeamos todo el islote y después nos bañamos en una zona cercana más tranquila. Pens que en la visita nos irían contando ciertas cosas, pero en realidad te dan una pequeña charla de como va a ser la travesía al inicio de la actividad y nada más.

The boat ride was great. We circled the entire islet and then went for a swim in a quieter area nearby. I thought they'd tell us a few things during the tour, but they actually give you a briefing at the beginning of the activity about what the trip will be like, and that's it. Opinion translated.

Muito boa. Visto existir a possibilidade de moto de agua, se alguém reservou, ficamos dependentes dessa pessoa e da sua destreza pois como nos segue se cai várias vezes, atrasa o grupo. Isto a que só podemos tomar banho num só local e deveriamos poder nadar junto a ilha Translate this opinion into English.

Very good. Since there's the option of a jet ski, if someone has booked it, we're dependent on that person and their skill, because if they follow us, if they fall several times, it slows down the group. This is because we can only swim in one place, and we should be able to swim near the island. Opinion translated. Show original.

Bien porque el entorno natural vale la pena. Pero el personal del barco no ha interaccionado con nosotros nada. Ni un saludo, ni explicación alguna de lo que veíamos. Parada de una hora para el baño cerca de una playa, había un par de tablas de paddle surf y un Kayak para uso común. Bien. No hemos tenido la suerte de ver ningún delfín o animal marino, pero tampoco ha habido intención alguna de la tripulación por hacer por verlo. 3 horas justas y vuelta al puerto.

Good, because the natural surroundings are worth it. But the boat crew didn't interact with us at all. Not a greeting, no explanation of what we were seeing. We had a one-hour swim stop near a beach, where there were a couple of paddleboards and a kayak for communal use. Fine. We weren't lucky enough to see any dolphins or marine animals, but the crew didn't make any effort to see them either. Just three hours and then we were back in port. Opinion translated.

Nos llamaron para cambiar la actividad por otro día debido al mal tiempo, un detalle por su parte, y menos mal... porque ese día vimos delfines y orcas!!! Además de tortugas marinas y peces voladores. Te dan la vuelta a la isla y luego paran el barco cerca de una playa, donde puedes ir con tabla de paddle sur que te prestan. El barco iba a bastante velocidad cosa que nos divirtió bastante (pero no apto para todos). En definitiva... no pudo ir mejor pero también por la suerte que tuvimos... Translate this opinion into English.

They called us to change the activity for another day due to bad weather, a detail on their part, and thank goodness... because that day we saw dolphins and orcas!!! As well as sea turtles and flying fish. They take you around the island and then they stop the boat near a beach, where you can go with a south paddle board that they lend you. The boat was going quite fast, which was a lot of fun for us (but not suitable for everyone). In short... it couldn't have gone better but also because of the luck we had... Opinion translated.

La actividad estuvo bien pero la teníamos reservada para el día anterior y la misma mañana se pusieron en contacto por correo diciendo que me habían llamado (no tenía ninguna llamada), para cancelar la actividad por falta de personas (cuando leímos en la web que el mínimo eran 4 personas y nosotros éramos 4). Menos mal que no nos ibamos hasta el domingo pero tuvimos que cambiar nuestro planning cuando ya estábamos en marcha con el coche visitando la isla con la ropa y el plan listo.

Desafortunadamente, el proveedor ha cambiado el número mínimo de participantes para que se realice la actividad. Sentimos lo ocurrido, ya hemos actualizado esta información en nuestra web.

Te llevan por la costa de San Miguel hasta la preciosa isla de Villafranca do Campo, pero no nos podemos bañar ni hacer snorkel allí porque solo pueden entrar 400 personas al día y lo tenemos que hacer con otra empresa. Después hemos ido a bañarnos a una playa y nos han dejado tablas de papel surf y canoas. Por último se supone que íbamos a ver delfines y nada de nada. Está bien para dar un paseo en barco, pero poco más. Y no te explican nada en la salida. Solo si preguntas algo.

They take you along the coast of São Miguel to the beautiful island of Villafranca do Campo, but we cannot swim or snorkel there because only 400 people can enter a day and we have to do it with another company. Afterwards we have gone to bathe at a beach and they have left us paper surf boards and canoes. Finally we were supposed to see dolphins and nothing at all. It's fine for a boat ride, but not much else. And they don't explain anything to you at the exit. Only if you ask something.

En la descripción web de la actividad especificamos que en esta visita a la isla no se hace ninguna parada, ya que se dan las explicaciones sobre la fauna local desde el mismo barco. Por otra parte, se deja tiempo libre para hacer estas actividades acuáticas. En nuestra web no especificamos que se observen delfines durante la visita, y desafortunadamente no podemos controlar la observación de fauna salvaje. Sentimos las molestias, y que la visita no resultase como esperabas. Translate this opinion into English.

In the web description of the activity we specify that on this visit to the island no stops are made, since explanations about the local fauna are given from the same boat. On the other hand, free time is left to do these water activities. On our website we do not specify that dolphins be observed during the visit, and unfortunately we cannot control the observation of wildlife. We are sorry for the inconvenience, and that the visit did not turn out as you expected. Opinion translated. Show original.

Éramos um grupo de 4 pessoas e todos adoramos a experiência. O guia deu nos muitas informações sobre a ilha assim como da fauna e flora. A paragem para o mergulho foi fantástica, deu para andar de paddle, kayak e fazer snorkling. Demos alguns saltos do barco para a água. A viagem de barco em si teve momentos de alta velocidade. Houve a oportunidade de tentar ver baleias e golfinhos, porém sem sucesso. O capitão Nelson também foi muito simpático! Excelente staff. Recomendo vivamente!
