One of the most unique fishing harbors in the Azores. Watch local fishermen preparing their boats, sorting their lines and bringing in the fresh catch, the real Azores, before you even leave the harbor.
15 minOne of the most iconic surf beaches in the Azores, drawing surfers from all over the world to Ribeira Grande, the surf capital of the islands. You won't set foot on the sand, but seeing it from the water gives you a perspective that no one on the beach ever gets.
Pass by, no stopPonta do Cintrão is a dramatic headland on São Miguel’s north coast, offering towering cliffs, unique lava formations, and panoramic ocean views. It marks one of the island’s most striking coastal points.
Pass by, no stopSanta Iria Port is a small, hidden harbor with crystal-clear waters, once used by locals for fishing and sea access. Today, it’s a peaceful, scenic spot tucked below the Santa Iria cliffs.
Pass by, no stopPorto Formoso Port is a small, traditional fishing harbor nestled in a scenic bay, known for calm waters, colorful boats, and its proximity to the island’s famous tea plantations.
Pass by, no stopDepart from Rabo de Peixe, one of the most authentic fishing harbors in the Azores, and spend 2 hours exploring a coastline only reachable by sea.
You'll pass towering volcanic cliffs, hidden caves and rock formations that no road or trail can get you to.
Your first landmark is Areal de Santa Bárbara, the Azores' most famous surf beach, a completely different perspective from the water.
Further along, hidden caves carved into the volcanic rock start appearing. When the sea allows, we go inside, the kind of moment that catches everyone off guard.
Our crew knows every corner by name. The Priest Rock, the Indian Rock, formations that rise straight out of the ocean, each with a story.
We reach Porto Formoso before heading back. By the time you step off the boat, you'll have seen a side of São Miguel that most visitors never do.
