So fun. Ride in the front of the boat for best experience! The front six seats you straddle like a motorcycle and it makes it more thrilling. The whole operation was smooth and professional. Really liked our guide and captain.
This was such a nice excursion! The group was a good size, our guide was very knowledgeable, the sea caves were beautiful. The speedboat was fun. Would recommend for travelers wanting to see Sao Miguel from the vantage point of cliffs and the island from a boat.
It was a fun and educational tour of the beautiful volcanic coast. It was also a convenience to go out on a tour that went our of an area that was close to Riberia Grande.

Thank you so much, Grace!
We're glad you enjoyed the volcanic coast and found it both fun and educational.
Hope to see you again!
Staff was very friendly, funny with commentary, and professional. Our trip was supposed to be cancelled due to not having the minimum amount of people. I didn’t have internet so didn’t see the email where the excursion was cancelled. My group of 3 showed up. Lucky for us there were two other groups of two showed up spontaneously to see if they could get the excursion. We all got to go out on the boat. The caves and cliffs were beautiful. Well worth the trip. Very enjoyable

despite the overcast sky, the tour was beautiful. Wish it was longer!! The captain of the boat was SUPER nice and took such good care of this lady who was throwing up multiple times.

Thank you so much Sherry!
We're really glad the tour was beautiful despite the weather, and that you felt so well taken care of, that's exactly the kind of experience we want everyone to have.
It’s short enough that it doesn’t take the whole day and can plan other things, and you get a nice look at the north side of the island and the lava rocks/caves
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much!
We're glad it fit nicely into your day and that you got to see the north coast and the lava caves.
Hope to see you again!
This was such a fun part of our trip! We loved seeing the island from the boat. It was really cool to learn about some of the geology of the Azores. Our guide and captain were great and able to squeeze us into some of the caves which was so cool. Definitely recommend!

Thank you so much, Christina!
We're thrilled you had such a fun and memorable experience with us.
Hope to welcome you back on board soon!
We had an awesome time on the boat checking out the coastline and sea caves from a perspective many don’t ever see. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Ashley!
We love that you got to see the coastline and sea caves from a perspective few get to experience. Hope to welcome you back with us soon!
Easy to find the meet-up spot, lots of parking, and they provide waterproof jackets. The excursion itself was great. Our captain, Pedro, was amazing in navigating some iffy water conditions and still got us into the Cathedral cave safely. Our guide, Carlo, was informative without going overboard (no pun intended :)) The only negatives were that we got started about 30 mins late (I think because of late guests) and I thought this was supposed to be an English-guided tour but the guide had guests that didn’t speak English, so he had to give every point I. 3 languages (impressive that he could do that), but it made it a bit tedious for all.
