Cruise along São Miguel’s wild west coast and discover lava cliffs, sea-carved formations, and volcanic islets — starting from one of the island’s most traditional fishing harbors.
Depart from Rabo de Peixe, an active working harbor far from the usual tourist circuit. Known for its deep fishing heritage and vibrant local life, it offers a more genuine, less polished starting point to explore the island’s rugged coastline.
Sail westward and see the natural Elephant Rock formation near Capelas, sheer volcanic cliffs and sea caves along Ponta da Bretanha, and remote coastline accessible only by boat.
Pass the iconic Mosteiros islets, shaped by millennia of eruptions. Learn about geology, history, and island life from your guide.
