You push off from Praia da Salema as the small harbor boat nudges against the limestone rim; salt and sun rise together while the guides steer toward João Vaz. The main boat delivers you to a narrow launch point, then the group slips into double kayaks to thread a coast of sheer cliffs, hidden grottoes and gull-haunted ledges. Waves tap the rock like a clock; the guides time entries to calmer windows so paddles barely whisper.
