Relax and sip tea from the oldest plantation in Europe, while admiring the lush green layered crops, before heading to the Historic Center of Ribeira Grande.

Here, you will immerse yourself in the history of one of the oldest towns on the island, with the help of our certified guides. With their accompaniment, you will learn all about the formation of this city and its most important figures and landmarks.

The adventure doesn't end here, as after lunch we take your experience to the next level and take you on a sailboat ride along the coast of Vila Franca do Campo, visiting several beaches, including Praia do Pedreiro.

Visit the famous Islet of Vila Franca do Campo, a paradisiacal and world-renowned place, where you will have the opportunity to practice Snorkeling in its waters rich in the most varied marine species.

Return to Vila Franca do Campo Marina and be picked up again by our guides, to return to your accommodation.
