The Islet of Vila Franca do Campo - Kayaking & SUP Tours

Have you ever been to The Islet of Vila Franca do Campo?

Situated in the middle of the Atlantic, 1,369 km west of the European mainland, the Azores archipelago comprises of nine islands spread over three groups. The volcanoes that gave birth to these islands also created smaller islets, located right off the coast of the main ones. Probably the most famous of these small formations is the Islet of Vila Franca do Campo, located about 500 meters from the coast of the Island of São Miguel, the largest and most populous island in the archipelago. It is named after the city of Vila Franca do Campo, the former capital of São Miguel, which lies across from the islet.

The Islet of Vila Franca do Campo is formed by the crater of an old underwater volcano. The islet which is now classified as a nature reserve is one of São Miguel’s main tourist attractions, particularly since an event in the Red Bull Cliff Diving world championship was held here.

What People Are Saying

★★★★★
"This was wonderful. The team was on time and had the materials. Our guide was great and very aware of our safety! He helped us in and out of the kayaks in the waves. Would recommend ! We even got to go in some small caves. "
★★★★★
"I recently completed a vintage car tour in Porto. The driver was charming and the experience was enjoyed by all. However, I do have a bit of a problem with the booking company, Experitour. After I made the booking online, nobody ever reached out to me to confirm the upcoming event. Usually, a day or two before such a tour, somebody will send an e-mail stating that the tour is going to occur soon and to review the meeting place and time. I would expect Experitour to do that since they were the company that received my online booking information. When I eventually contacted the Vintage Car Tour company, they initially had no record of my reservation. They were eventually able to find it, but I had to remind them that I went through Experitour. Not sure whose fault that was. These are minor details, but they prevent me from providing a 5-star review."

"Received fantastic service from experitour, always in contact with me. Unfortunately the tour was cancelled because of the Babet and Alina storms. Not their fault. Will certainly be rebooking with them next year hopefully will see the famous flamingoes. "

"I would like to get refund for the tickets €240 of this boat tour on 30/09/2023 due to the bad weather condition and the tour had been cancelled by your company/Sea Adventure. I have sent the email to experitour.com few days ago but get no response so far. Looking forward to hearing from experitour soonest. "
