Cagarros Sunset Tour
As the sun begins to set over Pico Island, thousands of Cory’s Shearwaters return from the open Atlantic to their nesting sites along the cliffs.
These migratory seabirds spend the day far offshore and gather at dusk, filling the air with one of the most distinctive and haunting sounds of the Azores. For many visitors, their calls feel almost otherworldly: a powerful reminder of the island’s wild character.
Cory’s Shearwaters (Calonectris borealis) arrive in the Azores during the warmer months to breed, laying a single egg each season. They are a protected species and an important part of the region’s natural heritage.
This evening tour begins approximately 10 minutes before sunset to witness the main arrival spectacle.
A quiet and atmospheric experience shaped entirely by nature and timing.

What to expect?
Meeting at 7:00 AM
We’ll have a coffee and go through a clear briefing: dive plan, conditions, and how to behave in the water.
Then we head offshore. The boat ride takes around 2.5 hours.
Once we arrive, we anchor the boat and set up for the dives.
Because this is open ocean and currents can be strong, we use a drop line system. Each buddy team is attached to the line, keeping everyone safe and close to the boat.
We will explain everything clearly during the briefing. It’s simple and designed to keep the dive controlled and safe.
We do 2 dives, with a surface interval of around 45 minutes in between.
During the break, you can rest, eat, and have drinks onboard.
After the second dive, we head back to Pico
What to bring?
- Towel
- Sunglasses

How long?
This is a full-day offshore trip.
