Terceira sunset tour from Angra with local tastings

Sunset and local flavors on the water between islands

A three-hour shared sunset tour from Angra do Heroísmo includes pickup, a picnic with regional food and drink, and a stop at Lagoa das Patas to watch the sun drop behind two neighboring islands in Terceira's central group. A live English-speaking guide leads groups of at least two travelers through the experience, which suits all fitness levels and welcomes children from age one.

Sunset and local picnic experience

• Stop at Lagoa das Patas
• Enjoy picnic with local products
• Watch sunset over central islands

The experience

The tour leaves Angra and heads out to catch the sunset on the horizon, with two of Terceira's sister islands framing the view. On the way, you stop at Lagoa das Patas to take in another angle of the landscape before settling in for the main event. The whole outing runs three hours door-to-door, so the drive and the stop fit inside the golden-hour window.

Once you're positioned for the sunset, the guide sets out a picnic with local products: cheese, cured meats, bread and regional specialties that change with the season. Coffee and tea come with it, and wine or beer is served to anyone 18 or older. You eat, drink and watch the light change across the water with the other travelers in your group, usually a small handful since a minimum of two is required to run the tour.
