Overview

Gamboa enchants with its calm, crystal-clear waters, fine sand and good beachfront facilities — one of the most pleasant and relaxing trips on Morro de São Paulo. Departing by schooner from Terceira Praia, the itinerary combines nature and a therapeutic clay bath, returning in time for you to choose the best spot on the island to watch the sunset.

The experience

Aboard a schooner, the tour departs from Terceira Praia towards Ilha do Caitá, with a stop for swimming and the possibility of spotting dolphins.

Next, a stop at Gamboa's famous clay wall offers a natural therapeutic experience, followed by a drive past photo-perfect sandbars.

The tour continues to Praia da Gamboa, with free time to relax and have lunch on your own in the local bars and restaurants. Disembarkation at the Morro de São Paulo pier takes place around 4pm — with the day still light enough to choose, on your own, the point on the shore where to watch the sunset.
