About Kayak Azores

Welcome aboard!

Kayak Azores Adventure invites you to discover the Atlantic Ocean through the Azorean eyes in Vila Franca do Campo in São Miguel island.

Our passion for the sea and for nautical activities dates back to our grandparents’ time and has been passed on from generation to generation. Because we grew up in tune with the sea, in 2020 we embarked on a sea and land adventure, creating Kayak Azores Adventure.

Over the years we acquired an unique boat that allows to sea the bottom of the sea, the only one in Azores and the second in Portugal.

We also offer other sea-related activities through our sister company – OceanEye Azores. You can visit them on www.oceaneyeazores.pt.

We can’t wait to see you aboard!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We rented kayak for 9 people last minute 19 August. The staff was kind and helpful and they found the best solution for us. On top of that they gave us 10-15 min bonus, offered something to drink at the return, allowed us to have a shower and suggested a very good fish restaurant. Very good experience, thanks for your professionalism and kindness 😁!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked a guided kayak tour with admission to the islet at the very end of June. We were contacted by Tatiana to rearrange the date due to sea conditions being more favourable later in the week - she was very helpful. Our guide, Tiago (a marine biologist) was excellent - friendly, very knowledgeable about the locality, flora, fauna etc. 20 mins paddle across to the island, a tour around the outside (couldn't go into the caves unfortunately due to sea conditions but very good nonetheless) then we moored up to the buoys inside the islet, swam ashore to look around (lots of crabs and lizards) and do some snorkeling inside the islet (wide variety of fish) before heading back. Sea was quite cold so we declined the opportunity to snorkel outside the islet as well! Dry bag, snorkeling gear incl fins provided if needed. Toilet, shower and changing facilities at the office. Tiago even took some photos and emailed them to us. Highly recommended.
