What to expect

Embark on a scenic boat tour along the northern coast of São Miguel, where the splendour of nature and history intertwine.

Your journey begins in the fishing village of Rabo de Peixe, a delightful entry point to the coastal wonders of São Miguel. From here, you'll cruise towards the Ribeira Grande Graben, an awe-inspiring geological formation moulded by volcanic activity that provides panoramic vistas of the island's rugged terrain. As you glide past the cliffs of Ponta do Cintrão, admire the impressive caves and promontories sculpted by erosion. These towering cliffs stand as a testament to nature’s might. Next, you'll stop at the historic Porto de Santa Iria, once a bustling hub for whaling and trade. Here, unwind by dipping in the crystal clear waters and savour local refreshments while soaking up the serene surroundings.

Your journey continues to Praia dos Moinhos, a charming volcanic beach encircled by spectacular bays. This peaceful spot is ideal for exploration and capturing snapshots of São Miguel’s striking scenery. On your return trip along the coast, look for colourful marine birds, such as Cory’s shearwaters and common terns, nesting along the cliffs.

This tour offers an exceptional blend of adventure, relaxation, and awe-inspiring views. It's an unforgettable experience for nature enthusiasts, providing a remarkable way to explore the rugged coastline of São Miguel.
