Ocean Expedition: Caves & Cliffs Tour on the Wild North Coast

About the Experience

Discover the essence of Azorean tradition on a journey along São Miguel’s north coast — a region of volcanic landscapes, black sand beaches, and cliffs shaped by time.

The adventure begins in Rabo de Peixe, an authentic fishing village where daily life revolves around the sea. Here, you’ll see nets drying in the sun, boats in the harbor, and fishermen preparing for the day.

During the tour, your local guide will share the stories and geology that shaped this dramatic coastline. More than just an excursion, it’s an immersion in the landscapes and authentic spirit of the island.
