Experiences
Nature all around you
Here, time is whatever you want it to be. So why not take the opportunity to embrace experiences and activities you have never tried before? Do something new and different; make memories. As a couple or a family, we all have something to discover here.
So much to explore. Irrigation terraces and trails, by bicycle or on foot. Paddle your way across the lagoons or go canyoning downriver to discover waterfalls and more hot springs. On an island of volcanoes, a sea of people take care of the local fauna and flora and will show you how and where to watch whales and dolphins in a more sustainable and careful manner, as is our nature.
Enjoy our island with a practice that involves well-being at all levels: mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. This practice consists of uniting the body and mind with our surroundings.

The Azores Sea is one of the favorite places for sport fishing
lovers and we will show you why. As our sea is influenced by the
Gulf Stream, sportfishing is a great success. Several species, during
their migratory route, pass through our waters, large pelagics
such as swordfish and tuna. The boats are equipped with the latest
navigation and safety technology. For a more sustainable practice,
we are apologists for the “take and release” concept. We catch
the fish to observe and take pictures andthen release it alive
again into the sea.
