🌊 Cradle of the Island Tour- Snorkeling Tour

The Cradle of the Island is a maritime tour that complements a trip to Corvo Island, exploring the south coast of Flores Island, one of the richest areas in marine biodiversity. This experience is designed for those seeking a closer connection with the ocean and a tour focused on underwater discovery.

Along the route, we visit two sea caves, where volcanic activity and sea erosion have shaped impressive natural formations, full of color, life, and history. These locations offer unique moments of exploration and rare perspectives of the coastline.

The main highlight of the tour is the snorkeling activity, with two to three stops in carefully selected areas (depending on sea conditions). Azorean waters are known for their excellent visibility and abundant marine life. Participants have time to calmly explore the seabed, observe marine fauna, volcanic rock formations, and enjoy the tranquility of the south coast waters.

The Cradle of the Island is the ideal choice for those who value direct contact with nature, combining coastal landscapes, geology, and a complete and memorable snorkeling experience in the crystal-clear waters of Flores Island.
