Today, guests aboard National Geographic Endurance awoke early in the harbor of Praia, Terceira Island, named because it was the third island of the Azores Archipelago to be colonized by the Portuguese.
After breakfast, guests had the choice between a hike on the volcanic coast or a leisurely guided tour of the island. During the hikes, the natural pools in front of the sea were visible and inland, the fog created a misty impression in the fields, making the cows disappear.
After the burger lunch buffet on board, guests continued to explore the volcanic island and the lava tunnel, or they went on a UNESCO-site city exploration with a visit to Angra do Heroismo.
Guests returned on board for recap and an exquisite degustation of Azorean cheese. Following dinner, Naturalist Claudia gave a presentation about literature under the sea.
