Activity itinerary

Rabo de Peixe

  • 15m
One of the most unique fishing harbours 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 harbour.

Praia de Santa Barbara (Pass by)

One 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.

Ponta da Cintrao (Pass by)

Ponta 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.

Porto de Santa Iria

  • 30m
Santa Iria Port is a small, hidden harbour 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 and the perfect location for a relaxing swimming stop.

Porto Formoso (Pass by)

Porto Formoso Port is a small, traditional fishing harbour nestled in a scenic bay, known for calm waters, colourful boats, and its proximity to the island’s famous tea plantations.
