About Sao Pedro Bay
The bay of Sao Pedro lies on the western tip of the island. Indeed, it is framed by dramatic mountains and a wide sandy beach. Moreover, the water here stays calm, shallow and clear for most of the year. For that reason, it is an ideal spot for a gentle first snorkelling experience. In addition, you visit the small fishing village nearby, where colourful boats rest on the sand.
Respecting the Animals
These gentle creatures are wild and strictly protected. Therefore, the rule is simple: watch closely, but never touch or feed them. Above all, your guide explains the key points before you enter the water. As a result, the encounter stays calm and safe for everyone. Finally, the small group size keeps any disturbance to a minimum.
