Depart from Rabo de Peixe, one of the most authentic fishing harbors in the Azores, and spend 2 hours exploring a coastline only reachable by sea. You'll pass towering volcanic cliffs, hidden caves and rock formations that no road or trail can get you to. Your first landmark is Areal de Santa Bárbara, the Azores' most famous surf beach, a completely different perspective from the water. Further along, hidden caves carved into the volcanic rock start appearing. When the sea allows, we go inside, the kind of moment that catches everyone off guard. Our crew knows every corner by name. The Priest Rock, the Indian Rock, formations that rise straight out of the ocean, each with a story. We reach Porto Formoso before heading back. By the time you step off the boat, you'll have seen a side of São Miguel that most visitors never do.
