Review & FAQ:

Dive headfirst into a once-in-a-lifetime experience at the Islet of Vila Franca do Campo. Intrepid vacationers can enjoy an afternoon sunbathing on the slopes of the ancient caldera or go for a cooling and relaxing swim within the Islet’s crater.

This tiny island is just a kilometer away from São Miguel’s coast, so all it takes is a short boat ride from the Pier of Vila Franca do Campo to get to this amazing location.

Spot beautiful and vibrant vegetation, a gorgeous lagoon shielded from the ocean’s currents, and marvel at the natural cone that the islet creates. Make sure to take some food and water with you!
