Boat Tour: Caves & Cliffs Tour on the Wild North Coast

Overview

Begin your journey in Rabo de Peixe, a raw and authentic Azorean fishing village that sees few tourists — giving you a front-row seat to real island life. As you travel east by boat, your guide will highlight the natural beauty and geological stories of São Miguel’s north coast. Pass by the long, black-sand stretch of Areal de Santa Bárbara, a world-class surf beach, and the towering cliffs of the Santa Iria viewpoint, offering one of the island’s most iconic landscapes. See the lush valley and stream-mouth of Praia dos Moinhos, once dotted with water mills. Enjoy a sea view of the Porto Formoso tea plantation, one of the few remaining in Europe. Learn about the region’s geology and traditions from your local guide.
