A fully immersive Octant experience
Tea plantation, Hot Springs and Stew Dinner at Octant Furnas
When you go down the slope to enter the Furnas Valley you are always surprised by the vapours rising in the air, resulting from the intense volcanic activity there. There are countless fumaroles and springs spewing out water: some hot, some cold, some carbonated, some not. On this visit, we will have the opportunity to taste the Azores tea, and the famous sour waters. At the same time, you will be able to enjoy the exclusive thermal pools of the Octant Furnas. Dinner at À TERRA will be served by Chef who will welcome you with open arms.

The Azores Sea is one of the favorite places for sport fishing lovers and we will show you why.
As our sea is influenced by the Gulf Stream, sportfishing is a great success. Several species, during their migratory route, pass throughour waters, large pelagics such as swordfish and tuna.
The boats are equipped with the latest navigation and safety technology.
For a more sustainable practice, we are apologists for the “take and release” concept. We catch
the fish to observe and take pictures and then release it alive again into the sea.
