Hello and welcome! I'm your guide here on the beautiful island of São Miguel in the Azores. Based in the small fishing village of Rabo de Peixe, I specialize in boat tours that blend adventure, nature, and authentic local culture.
Together, we’ll explore the rugged northern coastline aboard a powerful, high-speed vessel—cruising past dramatic cliffs, hidden waterfalls, and the lush tea plantations of Porto Formoso. If we head west, we’ll navigate around volcanic rock formations like the iconic "Elephant Trunk," uncover secret coves, and take in some of the most breathtaking coastal views the island has to offer.
For those looking for something even more immersive, I also offer traditional fishing experiences. Step aboard a classic local fishing boat and spend time with a seasoned fisherman, learning the old ways of the sea that still shape daily life here.
My goal is to take you beyond the usual tourist path. I want to show you parts of the island that few get to see—raw, real, and filled with stories. From historical landmarks to natural wonders, from local legends to marine life, I bring both passion and knowledge to each trip.
The Azores are my home, and sharing them is what I love most. Whether you're here to capture stunning photos, discover new perspectives, or simply enjoy the salty breeze and ocean air, you're in for an unforgettable experience.
So, let’s set off together on a journey that’s equal parts excitement, beauty, and connection—with nature, the ocean, and the true spirit of this island.
