Cradle of the Island – Snorkeling on the Wild South

Explore the southern coast of Santa Cruz das Flores, the historical heart of the island, on a journey that blends nature and discovery. Calm, crystal-clear waters make this the ideal tour for snorkeling and for families seeking their first experience in Azorean waters.


For more experienced swimmers, there's the chance to swim alongside juvenile hammerhead sharks. On our coast, we spot juveniles of this species on approximately 80% of our tours.


Guided by a professional holding a degree in Biology and a Master's in Marine Biology, this tour reveals the coastal ecosystems of Flores and the rich life hidden along the shore — from small coastal fish to, occasionally, pods of dolphins and, very frequently, these fascinating and harmless juveniles that make this area a true marine nursery.


The sea of Flores begins here — and, with luck, in the company of sharks.
