Begin your adventure in Rabo de Peixe, a traditional Azorean fishing village that remains untouched by mass tourism, offering a genuine glimpse of island life.
As you travel east along São Miguel’s north coast by boat, your guide will share insights into its natural beauty, geology, and culture. Sail past the black-sand surf beach of Areal de Santa Bárbara and the dramatic cliffs of the Santa Iria viewpoint, one of the island’s most iconic landscapes.
Continue to the lush valley of Praia dos Moinhos, once powered by historic water mills, where green hills meet the Atlantic.
From the sea, enjoy a rare view of the Porto Formoso tea plantation—one of Europe’s last remaining tea producers. Throughout the tour, your local guide will bring the coastline to life with stories of volcanic origins, seafaring traditions, and hidden gems.
