Sea Adventures
180 min

This tour is entirely dedicated to our traditional arts and crafts, where you can have fantastic experiences and do it your self, serving as a unique memory and where you can observe the processes of production of works in clay, embroidery and ceramics from the beginning of the process to que final phase. The tour starts with a visit to the Pottery of São Bento where you can observe beautiful pieces locally produced, besides the typical "pot" used to cook the traditional beef stew "Alcatra". Then we will explore a more detailed work, visiting the Azorean embroidery, for many a job but also a dorm of entertainment of high artistic value. To finish we will visit a small ceramic unit where you will have the opportunity to paint your own tile that you can take with you and that will be a unique memory.

Coffee plantation and pottery

Our activity was very enriching, which included a visit to the only coffee plantation on the island of Terceira, followed by a tasting of the plantation's products and a visit to the manufacturing of the typical pottery production. Our guide was very kind. The owners of the plantation were very welcoming and especially passionate. We were pampered to have been able to participate in this activity. We recommend it to everyone. Thank you.

Amazing Cultural craft experience

This company was able to do a last minute arts & craft tour when other tours got cancelled. Paulo was a wonderful host/driver taking us to all best cultural spots on the island including the traditional ceramic shop, tile making & coffee plantation. The highlight of the trip was definitely visiting Jose and his wife. Jose spent a lot of time explaining coffee making process & then showing us all around his farm. The most delicious ending with homemade coffee & liquor. It was truly a memorable day that both my daughter & I considered the highlight of the trip!

Operator response

Jose and his wife are truly special hosts, and we’re glad their coffee farm visit and homemade coffee and liqueur made such a memorable impression on you and your daughter. Moments like these are what we love to share with our guests. Thank you for choosing Sea Adventures, and we hope to welcome you back soon for more unforgettable experiences!

So Much Fun!!!

This was a fun tour. It was great to see the crafting history of Terceira. So many of these trades today are replaced by machines! Our guide was the best. Not only did we get an arts and crafts tour, but he told us about the island, showed us where to have dinner. We made ceramic tiles that were not going to be ready until after we left, he said he would mail them to us. The day we left, he was back at our hotel, delivering our tiles! He went above and beyond that extra measure!!!!!!!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the arts and crafts tour and appreciated learning about Terceira’s rich heritage. It’s fantastic to hear our guide went the extra mile by delivering your ceramic tiles personally — that’s exactly the kind of experience we love to provide! We hope to welcome you back soon for more memorable adventures with Sea Adventures. Warm regards, The Sea Adventures Team 🎨✨
