This guided boat experience begins in Rabo de Peixe, a traditional fishing village that reflects the true island lifestyle of São Miguel. Traveling east along the dramatic north coast, guests explore a region shaped by volcanic forces, ocean winds, and centuries of maritime culture. Along the way, the journey passes striking landmarks including the black sand beach of Areal de Santa Bárbara, the towering cliffs of Santa Iria Viewpoint, and the green valley of Praia dos Moinhos, once home to historic water mills.
The route continues toward Porto Formoso, offering sweeping sea views and insight into local traditions, geology, and coastal life. Throughout the trip, a knowledgeable local guide shares stories about the island’s landscapes, history, and natural features. This experience is suitable for guests aged six and above and is designed for those who enjoy scenic exploration, learning, and authentic coastal perspectives. Life jackets and safety equipment are provided, and the group size allows for a comfortable and engaging journey along one of São Miguel’s most scenic coastlines.

We sadly didn't see any dolphins. But did see 3 stags and lots of seals. The boat was very good and the dog was also allowed to join us.

Très fun dynamique, mais les explications au micro ne sont pas très claires, on n’entend pas tout

We really enjoyed our trip on the boat with Kevin today. We saw dolphins, seals and sea birds. The weather was great, and the coast looked stunning under the sun. The boat is new, has plenty of space, and doesn't take too many people at once so it's easy for everyone to head to the side of the boat where the wildlife is. The kids loved driving the boat at the end (under Kevin's supervision...).

Leukkk! En we hadden heerlijk weer!

This was the highlight of our trip. Stunning remote mountain scenery. The sea loch always seemed relatively calm even in a strong westerly. You’ll get up close to seals as well as great views of the highest waterfall in the UK. On our trip we saw a sea eagle and were informed there were regular sightings of golden eagles. The skipper provided just the right level of information as well as handing out binoculars. Highly recommended if you’re doing the NC500 and want to connect with the wilderness instead of just rushing past it.

We had a fantastic trip out this morning 21/05/2025, we didn't sea any dolphins but saw plenty of seals and great views of the coastline around the lochs.
Barbara
Absolutely fantastic trip, would highly recommend. We didn't see any dolphins or whales but Tony was a great guide, told us lots about the coast, places worth visiting and made sure to chat to everyone. He was so good with our dogs and made them more than welcome aboard. As for parking, don't be confused with a pin received via email pointing to company temporarily closed. Just follow the harbour all the way to that pin and you'll find a small car park for north coast sea tours.
