When the Ocean turns red
Sunset Boat Tour – Half day
Sao Miguel islandLeaving a trail of foam at the bow, over the cobalt-blue that reels bodies and inflates lungs with the sea breeze, the imagination is filled with mermaids on this burning horizon where the sun sets with sighs of red and light.
It is the golden hour in the archipelago: the shoreline glares and the rocks present themselves to the last sunlight and sea air; the greens shine in the waters.
Everything is gentle and luscious. Sometimes, the hidden coastal caves, where the waves swirl, also penetrate the palate as an unknown seasoning.
Enjoy, with no restraints…
Sunset lovers
Take perfect picture thanks to the golden hour, an amazing natural light reflecting on the ocean.
Celebrate life with your friends
Spend a good time on board of a comfortable boat, looking at the sun set over the Atlantic Ocean.
An ocean full of surprises
It is not rare to encounter some of the resident species while on a boat around the island. Who knows, maybe you will get lucky!
The island from another perspective
It is common to see the coastline of São Miguel from the many viewpoint on the island, but seeing it from the ocean is a different experience.

During the boat trip, you will be able to taste local specialties, but this is not a dinner, you might need to eat after the trip to your hotel or in a restaurant.
