Walking Trails and Diving

Walking Trails and Diving

The island offers several solutions in these fields, and to come to know it as a true inhabitant it is perhaps advisable to seek support from one of the locals.

Santa Maria has numerous fantastic recesses that can only be accessed by foot or by boat.

Just to give you a little hint, there are five beaches with white sand and crystalline waters along our coast, but only two of them can be reached by car.
Besides the walking trails existing in the island, there are other activities available, like scuba diving and snorkelling, for instance. You can dive in protected areas full of manta rays, whale sharks, blue sharks and dozens of other marine species.

And this is not all! For the more radical, activities like mountain-biking, paintball or canyoning, among others, are also available in Santa Maria.
Please visit our Photo Gallery to have a more precise idea of what we are talking about, but don’t forget that nothing can replace your own lived experience.
