Sunset Boat Tour to the Sea Caves

Discover São Miguel’s north coast on a unique late-afternoon experience, when the Atlantic transforms into a golden and silent landscape.

Departing from the traditional fishing village of Rabo de Peixe, we sail along the Ribeira Grande coastline, passing striking coastal formations such as Ponta do Ermo and Ponta do Cintrão.

The highlight of the experience takes place in Cintrão Bay, where we explore volcanic sea caves and cliffs illuminated by the warm sunset light. When sea conditions allow, we safely enter the caves, creating an intimate and immersive connection with nature.

On the return, we cross open ocean towards the horizon, watching the sun set over the Atlantic as the island turns into shades of gold and orange - one of the most magical moments of the day in the Azores.

This experience focuses on landscape appreciation, proximity to rock formations, and interpretation of local geology, at a calm, immersive and unhurried pace.

Operated in small groups, it ensures comfort, closeness, and a more personalised experience. On board, we serve local tea, water, and regional biscuits, creating a warm and authentic atmosphere.

Each departure is carefully adapted to sea and light conditions, always ensuring safety and the best possible experience.More than just a boat tour, this is a deep connection with São Miguel’s north coast - experienced at the most special moment of the day.
