The Wild North Coast Tour

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.
