Tour Plan

Day 1 – Arrival & Welcome Dinner

Welcome to São Miguel! After check-in at the surf house, take some time to settle in and feel the ocean breeze. In the evening, we’ll gather for a shared dinner with the rest of the group — your new surf tribe for the week. It's the perfect time to break the ice, share travel stories, and start to feel at home. Rest well tonight — your surf adventure begins tomorrow.

Day 2 – First Surf & Forest Waterfalls

Start your day with a healthy breakfast, then head to the beach for your first 2-hour surf lesson with our experienced instructors. You’ll get familiar with the waves, practice your pop-ups, and catch your first rides — all in the safe, supportive atmosphere of the Azorean coastline. In the afternoon, we head into the island’s green heart with a trip to Salto do Cabrito, a hidden waterfall surrounded by jungle cliffs and steam vents. Cool off with a swim or just soak in the peaceful energy of the forest. Return to the Surf House for a chilled dinner and relaxed evening.

Day 3 – Ride, Explore, Choose Your Thrill

After breakfast, it’s back to the ocean for your second surf session. You’ll start to feel more confident, reading the waves and finding your own rhythm on the board. The afternoon is yours to shape: choose from optional activities like canyoning in volcanic canyons, coasteering along dramatic cliffs, kayaking through crystal waters, or hiking lush trails (extra cost, bookable on-site). Wind down the day with dinner and maybe a post-meal drink under the stars.

Day 4 – Surf, Review & Reflect

Your third surf lesson kicks off the day. By now, you’re standing up more often and riding longer waves. The progress is real! Later, join a surf video analysis session where we break down your footage to highlight improvements and give tips for fine-tuning your technique. It’s fun, motivating, and surprisingly insightful. Dinner back at the Surf House is always the perfect end to a day well spent.

Day 5 – Adventure & Free Surf

A relaxed morning starts with breakfast and an optional extra activity. If you’re craving more adrenaline, go for another canyoning adventure or a coastal trek. In the afternoon, it’s free surf time — we provide the boards, and you decide the pace. Whether it’s practicing on your own or just having fun in the waves, this is your time to explore the water freely. Evening brings another shared dinner and good vibes all around.

Day 6 – Morning Surf & Magical Furnas

After your fourth surf lesson, we switch gears and head to the legendary Lagoa das Furnas — a volcanic lake surrounded by geothermal wonders. Here you’ll see bubbling hot springs, taste the famous “cozido” cooked underground, and stroll through botanical gardens with steaming streams and lush tropical plants. A day that feeds all your senses, followed by dinner and deep sleep.

Day 7 – Final Surf & Island Discovery

Your final surf lesson — time to show off how far you’ve come! We’ll celebrate your progress, confidence, and every wipeout that got you here. Then we hit the road for one last tour around the island, including a stop at the Gorreana Tea Plantation, the oldest in Europe. Sip fresh green tea with Atlantic views and soak in the island's peaceful pace. Wrap up the day with our farewell dinner — laughter, photos, and maybe even planning your next surf trip.

Day 8 – Until Next Time

One last breakfast with your new surf family, time to exchange contacts, hugs, and maybe a tear or two. Check-out is bittersweet, but the memories (and the waves) will stay with you. Until next time — or como dizemos por aqui: até já!
