Everything went well! Guide was excellent and the walk is amazing. Did not expect it to be that close to the edge of the cliffs but it was very safe. Bring jacket cause it can be very windy!
A beautiful evening

So we were over the moon to have the guides we’d had for our island tour to take us again on our sunset walk. It was superb and again driven so carefully to the parking. Now I need to be honest the walk is not for the faint hearted…. It has its challenges and it has no barrier …. So we walked behind our guide confidently and our driver walked behind us. They were great and they took photos of us there. They knew where to sit in order to watch the sunset really well. Brilliant but be prepared for it ie don’t think you’ll be doing it in your flip flops!!
Just fantastic

Cool (short) hike along the coast with great views and steep cliff faces. Enthusiastic Guide there and also been to the lighthouse. Due to clouds not being able to see a sunset, but also on a cloudy day this excursion is definitely worth it!
Go Green Line!

Especially beautiful are the beach walks from Baia das Gatas to Calhau. very lonely and interesting rock formations, even if the beach is often very soft and yielding, the hike is quite easy, though three hours at least.
