If you visit Sao Miguel island, you must visit Ilheu de Vila Franca.

Tickets can be bought online (the page wasn't working, when I tried to buy the tickets), or you can buy them in the ticket office in the docks.

The boat leaves at every full hour from the main island, the boat drops new tourists on the island (Ilheu) and collects tourists that finished with the visit to tge island.

I think in the past, you were able to swim on the island, when I was visiting, swimming wasn't allowed. Also you were not allowed to use drones on the island. There are toilets on the island. You can come with one boat, and return after one hour, when the boat comes back.

The views are really amazing, try to go there when it is sunny. I strongly...

Острівець Віла-Франка — незаселений острів, вкритий рослинністю, розташований біля південно-центрального узбережжя острова Сан-Мігель португальського архіпелагу Азорські острови. Весь острів і навколишні води є охоронюваним природним заповідником, залишаючись популярним місцем для купання та пірнання зі скель. Острів Віла-Франка — це відкриті залишки вулканічного конуса Сурцея фреатомагматичного походження, сильно розмитого морем і сейсмічними силами з часом. Він складається здебільшого з базальту та палагонітового туфу, що призводить до характерних вертикально тріщинних скель, що нагадують колони. Острівець містить кілька підводних печер. Острівець розташований на відстані від 500 метрів (1600 футів) до 1 кілометра (0,62 милі) від південно-центрального узбережжя острова Сан-Мігель, поруч із муніципалітетом, містом і портом Віла-Франка-ду-Кампо. Напівкруглий острівець має площу приблизно 5 гектарів (12 акрів) [5] або 6 гектарів (15 акрів). Найвища точка острова становить приблизно 62 метри (203 фути) над рівнем моря. Одним із найвизначніших геологічних утворень острова є 32,5-метрова (107 футів) вулканічна купа під назвою Фарільян, яка розташована біля південного краю острова. Кратер вулканічного конуса відкритий до моря і заповнений водою. Відомий у місцевих жителях як Бокете , цей круглий кратер має діаметр близько 150 метрів (490 футів) з максимальною глибиною приблизно 20 метрів (66 футів). Оскільки отвір у кратері звернений на північ до Сан-Мігеля, він створює невелику природну гавань і піщаний пляж, захищений від хвиль. Гавань і пляж настільки популярні для купання, що з червня по жовтень кілька щоденних поромів перевозять купальщиків між Віла-Франка-ду-Кампо та островом.Через охоронний статус острова, лише 400 відвідувачів можуть висаджуватися на...

Warning: since May 2025 it is no longer allowed to swim within the crater, which was the main reason people used to come here. You can still buy tickets (during the main season) for the ferry to go to the island, but you will not be allowed into the water. It is also no longer allowed to fly drones over the island. Snorkling trips to the island are still offered by local companies, but the trips only visit the outside of the crater (in the open sea) because of the swimming ban inside the crater. The swimming ban is unfortunately only noted poorly on the...
