Embark on a remarkable 7-day voyage aboard the Santa Maria Manuela, exploring some of the most remote and untouched islands of the Azores. Starting and ending in Terceira, this sailing adventure takes you to the wild beauty of Flores and the small but captivating island of Corvo. Experience the thrill of hands-on sailing while discovering breathtaking landscapes and rich Azorean heritage.

We begin our journey in Angra do Heroísmo, a UNESCO World Heritage city on Terceira. From here, we set sail westward to Flores, known for its waterfalls, volcanic lakes, and lush valleys. On Flores, you can hike to the famous lagoas (small lakes), explore peaceful nature reserves, or visit Fajã Grande, the westernmost village in Europe.

Next is Corvo, the smallest island in the Azores, full of charm and character. Walk through its striking caldera, visit the village of Vila do Corvo, and learn about the island’s unique culture and way of life. With just a few hundred residents, Corvo offers a true escape from modern life.

We end our voyage back in Terceira, sailing once more into the harbor of Angra do Heroísmo. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to join the crew in setting sails and navigating, or simply relax on deck and enjoy the views. Whether you choose to get involved or simply relax on deck, this voyage offers a unique way to explore the Azores by sea.
