AZORES - EUROPE’S WILD ATLANTIC PARADISE
The Azores are nine volcanic islands in the middle of the Atlantic. Raw nature and dramatic landscapes shape every moment here. It remains one of Europe’s last true hidden gems.
São Miguel – the green heart of the Azores
São Miguel is the largest and most diverse island. Crater lakes, mountains and open ocean views define its atmosphere. It is the perfect base for surfing, exploring and experiencing some of Europe’s wildest landscapes and richest biodiversity.
SURFING IN SAO MIGUEL - SANTA BARBARA
Santa Bárbara is one of the island’s best beach breaks. Conditions change daily, so we adapt each session to the safest and best waves. It’s the ideal spot for steady progression and confident riding.
Ocean and water temperature
Water stays between 18 and 22 degrees throughout the year. A 3/2 wetsuit keeps every session warm and comfortable. Hot springs after surfing complete the experience.
Dolphins and Whale watching
The waters around São Miguel host bottlenose dolphins and many other species. You can also spot sei whales, sperm whales and humpbacks during migration. It’s one of the Atlantic’s richest marine corridors.
Our surf camp experience
This is more than a surf trip; it is a full island journey. You stay in a cosy, friendly surf house designed for surfers from around the world. We combine surfing, yoga and exploration in a relaxed, supportive environment.
São Miguel’s highlights
A full week of surfing, exploring and recharging on São Miguel is waiting for you. The island changes scenery every day, from volcanic valleys to high viewpoints. We explore Sete Cidades and Lagoa do Fogo by electric bike for the full experience. And the optional pontoon marine tour brings you close to wild marine life for those who want this additional adventure.

What is Girl on the Wave about ?
Terra Nostra and Furnas Valley

Tea plantations, pineapple farms and a local winery are part of the journey. You can taste traditions found only in the Azores.
Waterfalls and forest trails
Salto do Prego and Ribeira dos Caldeirões are island classics. Lush forest paths lead to fresh natural pools.
