Sunshine and calm seas allowed us to take the kayaks out for a morning paddle in the beautiful bay of Angra do Heroísmo. Alternatively, guests could enjoy a hike at Baías da Agualva with stunning views from the Miradouro de Alagoa or learn about the island's history on a panoramic tour of the island, including a visit to the 15th century church of São Sebastião, famous for its newly restored frescoes. From the top of the 545-meter-high Serra do Cume, we admired the stone-walled green fields for which the island is known.
In the afternoon, we hiked up Angra's backyard mountain, Monte Brazil and were rewarded with great views of the city below. For those who wanted to enjoy the fantastic weather at a more leisurely pace, Zodiacs took us ashore for either a walking tour of the city to learn about the culture and local delicacies or a photo walk with our National Geographic photographer who shared her knowledge on how to capture lasting impressions of our visit to Terceira.
