Practical information
Experience an unforgettable coasteering adventure along the stunning volcanic coastline of São Miguel Island in the heart of the Azores archipelago!
This activity takes place in Caloura, a charming seaside village in the south-central part of the island just 20 minutes from Ponta Delgada. Known for its sunny microclimate, fertile landscape, and dramatic ocean views, Caloura offers the perfect setting for coasteering, a dynamic outdoor activity that blends swimming, climbing, scrambling, and cliff jumping into one adrenaline-packed excursion.
You'll begin with a warm welcome from your local guides, followed by a safety briefing and distribution of all necessary gear. Once equipped, you'll set off on a short coastal hike across jagged volcanic rocks, the dramatic result of ancient lava flows that shaped this rugged coastline.
As the adventure unfolds, you’ll explore sea caves, dive into natural pools, swim across crystal-clear inlets, and challenge yourself with several cliff jumps ranging from 1 to 8 meters. Some jumps are optional, depending on your comfort level. Along the way, you'll be immersed in the breathtaking scenery of the Atlantic Ocean and may even spot local marine life and underwater rock formations, depending on conditions.
This coasteering experience is open to beginners and thrill-seekers alike. Whether it’s your first time or you’re looking for a fresh way to explore São Miguel, this is a fun, safe and action-packed way to connect with the island’s volcanic nature and coastal beauty.
Get ready for a refreshing, physical, and scenic adventure you won’t forget!
