Snorkelling Excursion on the island of Faial, Azores

Faial is one of the nine islands of the Azores, a Portuguese archipelago in the middle of the North Atlantic. Nicknamed "the blue island" because of the abundance of blue hydrangeas that bloom everywhere in summer along the roads and fields, it is an island of volcanic origin whose landscapes are marked by craters and steep cliffs. One of the island's must-do outdoor activities is snorkelling. And do you know why? Well, because the volcanic landscapes are not confined to the island itself, and extend right down to the seabed! This makes Faial a great place to see a different seabed while snorkeling!

So if you fancy seeing the volcanic rocky seabed that is so characteristic of the Azores, you must try snorkelling on the island of Faial! By joining this excursion organised by passionate instructors from the region, you can admire the octopus, rays and other local fish in all simplicity. Professional instructors will explain everything you need to know before trying snorkelling and will guide you to the best snorkelling spots on the island of Faial. Afterwards, they'll keep an eye on you from the boat and you'll be able to swim in shallow, sheltered bays, perfect for observing marine life from the surface.

During this snorkelling excursion in Faial, everything is planned to ensure that you have a great time. You'll have the chance to take a rest break between your two 1-hour snorkelling sessions, and after the activity you can take a shower at the dive centre.
