About this experience
Along the way, you can marvel yourself with the fabulous seascapes of the north and south of the Island. It is impossible to describe the wonderful feeling provided by the contrast between the serenity of south sea and the rough sea of the north.
In this gorgeous but windy zone you can discover and enjoy beautiful samples of unique fauna and flora species. Also there are curious rock formations, resulting of the volcanic origin of the island. Take a moment to appreciate the details.
We Partner with Sea Emotions to bring you back by Boat Trip to Quinta do Lorde and have a different view of Ponta São Lourenço, where you can find an elephant rock shape plus see a cave.
