It's the perfect balance of adventure, learning, and relaxation—all in one unforgettable day by sea and land! Highlights: - Whale and dolphin watching tour with marine biologists - Learn about marine species and conservation during the briefing - Cruise the Atlantic in search of whales, dolphins, and more - Visit Vila Franca Islet, a protected volcanic crater island - Swim or snorkel in the islet’s natural lagoon (seasonal access)
