Our first day started as it should, in proper expedition style! We dropped the Zodiacs at 08:00 with 35 knots of wind and we enjoyed a wavy, sunny, and warm ride to the landing site at Fogo Island.

We spent the day exploring the caldera, enjoying the volcanic landscape, and tasting traditional local food and wines from the island before coming back and dressing up for the captain’s welcome dinner.

It was a truly fantastic first day of our Macaronesia expedition!
