Description

Join local fishermen for a small-group boat trip from Ribeira da Barca to sea caves, snorkel with gear guaranteed for everyone, then enjoy a beach BBQ with drinks included.
Skip the big-group boat trips and join a small, fisherman-led excursion from Ribeira da Barca, capped at 8 travelers so everyone gets a seat, a full set of snorkel gear, and real time in the water.

After pick-up at your hotel in Praia, you'll drive to the fishing village of Ribeira da Barca, where you'll meet the local fishermen who will take you out on their traditional boat. As you cruise along Santiago's volcanic coastline, your hosts share stories about life at sea, generations of fishing tradition, and the rock formations shaped by the Atlantic.

Cool off with a swim into the Aguas Belas sea cave and snorkel around hidden coves. Every guest gets their own mask, snorkel, and fins, so nobody is left waiting on the boat.

Back on the black sand beach, the fishermen fire up a fresh BBQ using the day's catch, served with rice, salad, and included drinks. It's a relaxed, honest afternoon with the people who actually work these waters, hosted by fishermen rather than a standard tour guide, before returning to your hotel in Praia in the afternoon.

Highlights
