São Jorge is approximately 60 km long but only around 8 km wide, creating an extraordinary landscape where volcanic highlands, steep cliffs and the Atlantic are never far apart.
Rather than following a rigid itinerary, this tour is adapted to the day’s weather and local conditions so you can experience the island at its best.
Travel with a knowledgeable guide and discover not only São Jorge’s main sights, but also the geology, ecosystems, traditions and human history behind them.
Lunch, visits and transportation are included, and when conditions allow, the day can also include swimming or snorkeling in the island’s clear coastal waters.
With a maximum of 8 participants, the experience remains personal and flexible.
