Explore the Seabed of Azores on a Glassbottom Boat Tour

Zie wat anderen missen – Ontdek de oceaan zoals nooit tevoren 🌊👀

Welkom aan boord van OceanEye Azores – de ENIGE boottocht met glazen bodem op São Miguel!

Vergeet de doorsnee boottocht. Bij ons vaart u niet alleen over de Atlantische Oceaan u kijkt er dwars doorheen.. Dankzij onze exclusieve glazen bodemtechnologie glijdt u over levendige onderwaterlandschappen, ziet u vissen onder uw voeten zwemmen en ontdekt u verborgen zeedieren zonder ooit te hoeven duiken.

🪸 Het is net snorkelen… maar dan zonder nat te worden!

Ons geheime wapen? Ons team 🧡

Onze lokale gidsen zijn meer dan alleen bootkapiteins – het zijn verhalenvertellers, liefhebbers van de zee en superfans van de Azoren. Of het nu uw eerste of uw vijftigste bezoek is, ze laten u met een glimlach de verborgen kanten van São Miguel zien (en vertellen u een paar leuke weetjes die u thuis zeker wilt delen).

Vanaf het moment dat je aan boord stapt, voel je je onderdeel van de crew – ontspannen, welkom en in deskundige handen. We houden van wat we doen, en dat zie je terug in elke golf die we bedwingen.

The tour around the islet was great, capped off by some great snorkeling with all sorts of marine life to see.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands down the most legendary tour in São Miguel! The crew’s passion for the ocean is completely magnetic. Our guide broke down the marine life with incredible detail, and the snorkeling crew was top-tier! They stayed right alongside us, pointing out hidden fish and making safety feel effortless. The whole vibe was a perfect mix of high adventure and genuine hospitality. You don't just feel like a tourist on this boat; they treat you like part of the crew. Do not leave the island without doing this!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolute peak Azores experience! Seeing the volcanic seabed unfold right beneath our feet through the glass floor was like something straight out of a National Geographic documentary. Having an actual marine biologist on board to decode everything we were seeing added a whole new level to the trip. When we jumped in for the snorkeling, the safety team was phenomenal! Attentive, super encouraging, and made sure everyone felt totally confident in the water. We even got to take the helm on the way back and finished with local drinks at the port. 10/10 crew, epic core memory unlocked

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Can’t say enough good things about the crew on this trip! Our guide was a marine biologist who gave us awesome context about the islet and sea life while we were out on the boat. Then during the snorkeling stop, the team was super hands-on. They provided all the gear (wetsuits included) and really looked out for anyone who was a bit hesitant in the water. You get the perfect mix of learning cool stuff and feeling completely relaxed during the swim. 10/10 experience!

Experiência simplesmente fantástica com a OceanEye Azores! A visão através do barco com fundo de vidro é incrível e permite ver a vida marinha do Ilhéu de Vila Franca do Campo de uma perspetiva totalmente única. A equipa é extremamente profissional, simpática e conhecedora. Recomendo vivamente a quem visita São Miguel!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you're heading to Azores, this is the one tour you shouldn't skip! Oceaneye Azores Glass-Bottom boat tour delivers a totally unique experience, especially compared to the usual crowded boat trips on the island...
The glass-bottom panel give you an awesome view of the sea floor as you cruise along. But what truly makes the trip is having an actual marine biologist as your guide. Ours was so passionate and engaging, breaking down the local ecosystem, answering every single question, and showing us how the volcanic landscape beneath us shaped the area. The snorkeling stop was just as impressiv, they provided full wetsuits to keep us comfortable in the water, and having the biologist swim along with us to spot sea life in the crevices made a huge difference.
You can tell the crew takes immense pride in their service. Everything felt organized, unhurried, and genuinely personal. Easily one of our favorite memories from the Azores!
