    I recently booked a full-day tour with Experience OC for my friend and me, and it was truly a fantastic experience! We had a delightful day exploring the island, learning about its rich culture, and visiting all the key sights. Our guide, Desio, was outstanding—charismatic and knowledgeable, and made the entire tour engaging and fun. I highly recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Flores!

Located on the western edge of the Azores, Santa Cruz das Flores is a peaceful haven surrounded by the blue Atlantic. With dramatic cliffs, green landscapes, and tranquil villages, this charming town invites travelers to experience authentic island life, explore nature reserves, and enjoy breathtaking ocean views.

A Brief Look at the Past

Founded in the 16th century, Santa Cruz das Flores has long been shaped by both the sea and its volcanic origins. Its old churches, traditional windmills, and cobblestone streets tell stories of explorers, fishermen, and farmers who have called this remote island home for generations.

When to Go

While the island enjoys mild temperatures year-round, the best time to visit is between May and September. During these months, you’ll find warm weather, calm seas, and a vibrant landscape blooming with colorful flowers, making it ideal for outdoor adventures and festivals.

How do I get around?

Due to its small size, the best way to explore is by renting a car or bicycle. Roads are quiet, and many viewpoints and nature trails are easily accessible.

What are the top things to do?

Popular activities include hiking to stunning waterfalls, discovering hidden lakes, visiting the Natural Park of Flores, and relaxing on volcanic beaches. Don’t miss the chance to taste delicious local cheese and fresh seafood.
