Corvo Travel’s 'Viagem de Barco ao Corvo' offers a 50-minute boat trip from the lush island of Flores to Corvo, the smallest of the Azores. As the vessel cuts through crystal-clear waters, passengers are immersed in a visual feast of towering volcanic stacks, jagged cliffs, and lush waterfalls cascading into the Atlantic.
