Ocean Expedition: Sea Caves & Volcanic Cliffs Tour
Date and Participants
About the Experience
Board our boat at Rabo de Peixe and spend 2 hours exploring a coastline most people on this island never get to see, towering black volcanic cliffs, hidden coves, and sea caves only reachable by boat.
The sea caves are the highlight. When conditions allow, we slow down and take you inside, dark, cathedral-like chambers carved into the volcanic rock, where the ocean echoes around you. It's the kind of moment that catches everyone off guard, kids and adults alike.
Along the way, you'll pass Areal de Santa Bárbara seen from the water, unique rock formations rising straight out of the ocean, the Priest Rock, the Indian Rock, and a coastline that looks completely different from every angle.
By the time you step off the boat, you'll have seen a side of São Miguel that most visitors never do.
Meeting point:
You should arrive at the meeting point 30 minutes before the start of the tour.
There's a free parking area near our kiosk!
