Nice boat ride

This was a lovely ride around the islands. We were a little underwhelmed but no fault of the tour. We had done a similar tour around the Algarve coastline and caves and this was nothing like that. The guide did a great job of explaining what we were seeing, even walking around to make sure everyone heard.

Excellent

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our experience visiting the Goat Islands was simply amazing! From the beginning, Soraia, in the store, was super attentive and helped us in everything we needed, always with sympathy and availability. On board, Commander Breno and guide Raquel were impeccable — very caring and always concerned about everyone’s well-being. We liked the fact that they spoke Portuguese first, even though there were foreigners on board, which made us feel even more included. In addition, they shared with us rich information about the history and the experience in general, making the tour even more special. I recommend 100%! Oh and with right to dive into the blueest and crystal clearest water we've ever seen!

Stunning view

I found the contrast of colors interesting, with a stunning view, the photo was taken from the parish of Ribeirinha, a parish that also has a mountain with views over the World Heritage City of Angra Do Heroísmo

A must see landmark

A wonderful and thorough explanation of this incredible landmark is given while seeing every part of Split Rock from a comfortable boat. The tour guide speaks in both English and Portuguese while answering questions about this breathtaking attraction. Highly recommended if visiting Terceira.

Memorable trip!

The trip was just right! Great information from our tour guide, and our captain was impressive. We went into caves that seemed impossible, and he even stopped to let one crazy passenger go for a swim! A memorable trip!
