Activity description

Discover the coast of the Azores Islands on this boat trip from the port of Rabo de Peixe through the caves of São Miguel Island and Praia de Moinhos.

The island of Sao Miguel is the largest island in the archipelago of the Azores Islands, a group of islands in Portugal famous mainly for their impressive vegetation and cliffs. Activities not to be missed on these islands include hiking in natural parks such as Sete Cidades, sightseeing in Ponta Delgada or visiting stunning beaches where, depending on the location and weather, you can swim, snorkel or even spot whales and dolphins. If you are looking to be amazed by the beaches of the Azores, we recommend a boat trip.

The crew of Azores Boat Adventures offers you a boat trip to Praia dos Moinhos, the most famous beach in the north of São Miguel. This 3-hour boat trip starts at the port of Rabo de Peixe and along the way you can visit the beaches of Santa Barbara and Monte Verde, known for being some of the best surfing beaches in Portugal; observe from the sea the lighthouse of Ribeirinha or discover some of the secret caves resulting from the volcanic eruptions of the islands. Moreover, if the tide and weather conditions allow it, you can even go swimming or snorkelling.

Are you coming to discover some of the best kept secrets of São Miguel Island with this boat trip from the port of Rabo de Peixe to Praia de Moinhos, in the Azores Islands?
