We went sea kayaking around Villa Franca de Campo. We paddled about 5km to the island, where we snorkeled. There were so many amazing and colorful fish out there. The ocean was a bit rough that day so it was definitely a workout and fairly intense at times. But a wonderful experience and such a cool way to experience the island.
