CRADLE OF THE ISLAND TOUR

One of the main tourist attractions of our island is undoubtedly our sea, our blue and crystalline waters practically untouched, in addition to their breathtaking beauty, are also bearers of enormous marine biodiversity.

In this tour South from Santa Cruz das Flores we recreate the steps of the first Portuguese explorers to inhabit the greenest island of the Azorean archipelago. Leaving Santa Cruz das Flores we head south to explore the bay of Ribeira da Cruz where the initial settlement of the island took place, in this area we will explore caves and coves that sheltered explorers and pirates for centuries.

This tour also allows you to connect with the sea in a unique way by diving with a mask and snorkel in the most crystalline waters of the entire region, full of life and colors that will leave you dumbfounded.

If you have been to Corvo this is the perfect complementary tour for you as we explore South of Santa cruz and check the other big marine caves the island as to offer plus we go to some of the best snorkelling spots on Flores.
