About
We are the only company on the island of São Miguel to operate with boats that give you the possibility to discover the Azorean seabed with the greatest comfort and safety.
Your experience begins at Vila Franca do Campo Marina, where the meeting point is the OceanEye Azores kiosk.
The trip takes place around the Protected Area of the Ilhéu de Vila Franca do Campo and along a part of the coast of the Municipality.
At the beginning of the tour, our guides will give you a short briefing about the rules to be adopted during the trip, as well as an explanation of the trip itinerary.
Historical curiosities about the municipality of Vila Franca do Campo will be shared with you, while also having a glimpse of our coast.
Arriving at the islet, we set off to observe the seabed through the glass bottom. Here you can see unique marine species typical of protected areas of the Atlantic Ocean and the Azores.
Our guide will identify and mention curiosities about the species you will encounter.
At the end of the trip, we will offer you a moment of snorkeling that can be done next to the islet or in the rocky area of Praia da Pedreira, always accompanied by a guide.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE ONBOARDING AN EXPERIENCE
Is it normal for people to get sea sick?
It’s very rare for someone to get sick at one of our experiences. The vast majority of experiences are held only in favourable conditions or we adapt the route. For that reason, the boats sail smoothly causing a great experience for all passengers.If you suffer from chronic motion sickness, in which you get sick even in the car, we recommend that you take a pill 30 minutes before boarding.
What should I bring?
Bring yourself, and some comfortable clothes suitable to the season you are going to be out on the water. Please keep in mind that it is often 10 degrees cooler out on the water, so a jacket or windbreaker is never a bad idea. We also recommend bringing a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses, as well as a swimsuit if appropriate for your charter location.
What happens in the case of bad weather?
If the weather is no go at all and the crew decides it is best not to go out for the sea, we recommend postponing your booking to a later date by coordinating with our team via whatsapp or email or, if not possible, will fully refund you.
How to change the date or time of my booking?
Have you booked an experience, but the date or time is no longer suitable for you? Don’t worry, we here to help. You can change your reservation depending on our partner’s availability and their cancellation policy. Get in touch with our team via whatsapp or email so we can help!
What if you cancel the booking?
Although rare, sometimes we may need to cancel a reservation. We understand that this can significantly impact your plans and will never happen without a verifiable justification. Rest assured that in the unlikely event that it happens you will automatically receive a refund or we can help you find a similar or better experience to rebook.
