Sobre a OceanEye Açores
A Oceaneye Açores convida-o a descobrir o fundo do Atlântico através da nossa perspectiva em Vila Franca do Campo em São Miguel, Açores.
Bem vindo a bordo!
O nosso amor pelo oceano e pelas tradições náuticas remonta aos nossos avós e foi transmitido de geração em geração. Crescendo com o mar como parte do nosso dia a dia, lançámos a OceanEye Azores em 2016 — um projeto que nasceu da nossa ligação à água, oferecendo passeios que celebram tanto a terra como o mar.
Adquirimos então um barco que permite a observação subaquática, o qual teve grande aceitação por parte do público em geral e, por isso, decidimos expandir as nossas atividades marítimas. Adquirimos o Toranja, um barco semirrígido (tipo Zodiac ou RIB) adaptado às diferentes condições meteorológicas, e com ele, levámos os nossos clientes a descobrir a vida marinha dos Açores.
O resto é história e estamos aqui para a partilhar convosco. Juntam-se a nós nessa jornada?

Great experience all around!Posted on Google Juan Rodriguez26/08/2026Trustindex 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!Posted on Google Shaco26/08/2026Trustindex 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 unlockedPosted on Google Pedro Silva26/08/2026Trustindex 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!Posted on Google Pedro Silva26/08/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5/5 Estrelas 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!Posted on Google Soraia Freire26/08/2026Trustindex 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!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
