SMATUR

SMATUR is a Vila do Porto-based outdoor tourism company that introduces visitors to Santa Maria through its landscapes, heritage and culture. Its programme includes walking routes, interpretive outings and other guided experiences adapted to the visitor and to local conditions. Activities can reveal the island's variety, from coastal scenery and geological formations to rural areas, traditions and the memories of Marian communities.

The team takes a personal, informed approach, connecting each visit with the history, crafts and identity of the island often called the Mother Island of the Azores. It is a useful choice for travellers who want to arrange a guided programme, discover less obvious places or understand Santa Maria's natural and cultural setting in greater depth. Availability, meeting point and difficulty level should be confirmed directly when booking.
