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

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.
