Cruise along São Miguel’s wild west coast and discover lava cliffs, sea-carved formations, and volcanic islets — starting from one of the island’s most traditional fishing harbors.
Depart from Rabo de Peixe, an active working harbor far from the usual tourist circuit. Known for its deep fishing heritage and vibrant local life, it offers a more genuine, less polished starting point to explore the island’s rugged coastline.
Sail westward and see the natural Elephant Rock formation near Capelas, sheer volcanic cliffs and sea caves along Ponta da Bretanha, and remote coastline accessible only by boat.
Pass the iconic Mosteiros islets, shaped by millennia of eruptions. Learn about geology, history, and island life from your guide.

5.00The original tour was canceled because of bad weather. It was rearranged to the next morning, unfortunately, when we were ready to get on the boat, the rain get heavy and we waited for 15 minutes and the tour was canceled again. Since I need to catch the flight in the afternoon, there is no way to rearrange another tour. Such a pity. But the service of this agency is supreme and all the staff there are very friendly. When I asked about the pickup time the previous day, they told me there is no pickup. When I complained that according to the program introduction on Viator, there is a pickup and also on my ticket, there is a pickup. They realized that they left outdated information on the Viator. And they offered me all the convenience. The offered me a pickup at first. When it was rearranged, they allowed me to take luggage with me and offered me a drop-off at the airport afterwards. Ester also tole me how they design the program and some history of the island. Really appreciate all they did for me.
Do "reset" to the head 🙏

5.00The journey was especially meaningful to contemplate the island’s north coast, battered by the intense storms of the North Atlantic. Along the way, one begins to understand the geomorphological evolution of this volcanic island — shaped by continuous natural processes, especially the erosive force of the sea — which has carved out an exuberant landscape where every cave and cliff seems to hold a story of its own. The northern coast is marked by distinct geomorphological features: pronounced textures and layers of volcanic soil formed by successive eruptions — as deeply etched as the wrinkles on the faces of the fishermen of Rabo de Peixe, scars of the effort and courage it takes to confront the harsh fate and vastness of the ocean. [PT] The trip is a remarkable experience. Being natural from the village of Rabo de Peixe, it was special to be able to contemplate the north coast of the island, crushed by the intense storms of the North Atlantic. Along the way, it is possible to understand the geomorphological evolution of this volcanic island, shaped by continuous natural processes - in particular, by the erosive action of the sea - that carve a lush landscape, where each cave and every scarp has a story to tell. The north coast is full of geomorphological marks - pronounced textures and layers of volcanic soil formed by successive eruptions - as wrapped as the wrinkles on the faces of the men of the sea of Rabo de Pisces, scars of the effort and the courage to face the hardness of the fado and the vastness of the ocean.
Such Unforgettable and Fun Coastal Adventure

5.00I went on the tour with AG Expeditions and had an absolutely fantastic experience! From start to finish, the team was very friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. The boat was comfortable and well-equipped. The scenery was breathtaking, and we even got to see fishermen capturing fish right next to our boat, which made the day even more special. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area!
