Must-do Tour

One of our favorite tours on the island. We saw some gorgeous views and learned a lot of interesting information along the way. The night tour is really worth it to get the views of the steam rising through the streets of Furnas. The cozida do furnas is quite good (definitely bring your appetite) and very fresh.

Sao Miguel Island the best.

The tour is great! Jose Miguel (our tour guide and driver) made the day outstanding! Very knowledgeable- we learn so much about the island, the culture, the environment, the food… He brought us everywhere, great viewpoints, nice lunch and experience! We enjoyed so much with, highly recommend it, very glad that we did it.

Fun times

A wonderful trip on the other side of the island if you don't have a rental vehicle. Had a tour in a comfortable AC van with Bernard, who does use a microphone so everyone can hear what he has to say. The lunch was amazing, and honestly the best food we had on the island. It had some beautiful viewpoint stops. The only thing I would have done differently was stay with Bernard at the Parque Terra Nostra stop instead of going into the park, because 1 hour is not enough for the price you pay.

Best guide for bird watching and families!

I traveled to Sao Miguel with my husband and 3 kids. We wanted to see as much of the island as we could and knew that traveling with a local guide would be the best way to learn about the island. We booked two days so we could see different areas with the island and we were with Delfin for both of those days. He was such an informative guide telling us about the island, the people, the cows!, and the volcanic formation of the island. My husband was specifically interested in seeing the Priolo while we were there. Delfin made no promises that we would get to see it however we saw 15-20! Thanks to Delfin for knowing the territories to go to. We learned so much and had a great time thanks to Delfin and his patience with our kids as well!

Enjoyable day

This trip is made for travelers coming with a cruise ship, we didnt know but our guide picked us up from our hotel and took us for the trip anyway. We drove and got storytellings, and it was nice. Later we had our time to have a spa at Terra Nostra, and enjoyed the botanical garden there. Later we had more drivings and storytelling. The day was good and we had our best time with Joao, our guide. It was a quick tour, but we loved it. Reccomend this.

A week's worth of fun in one day

So glad we opted for a guided jeep tour to Sete Cidades & Lagoa de Fogo. Our guide was an expert in finding cloud breaks to catch amazing views. He creatively navigated our day to show more of this beautiful island than we could see in a week on our own. Highly recommend!

Azores: Shore Excursion Sete Cidades - Blue & Green Twin Crater Lakes

Kenneth_B, May 2026

Fantastic time in Punta Delgada

I wasn't expecting much from this excursion and, to be honest, my impression of the tours offered in Ponta Delgada weren't really interesting to me. I was so glad I took the plunge with this tour though. Our drive to Sete Cidades and the northern part of the island was breathtaking. We stopped at several viewpoints for pictures of the lakes and our tour guide offered to take some spectacular pictures of my family. My daughter especially loved feeding some ducks at the shore of Lagoa das Sete Cidades with some spare cat food the guide had. My favorite part was our visit to the Mosteiros Islets, something I've only seen in pictures and, combined with the area's cliffs and black volcanic sand beaches, made this booking well worth it. To top off all the gorgeous scenery we visited, our tour guide was very knowledgable of the areas and provided insight into all sorts of questions we had. He also knew there would be other tours visiting the areas we went to and adjusted our itinerary so that there were either very few people or no one else but us in the areas we visited. It really made our tour feel personal and curated just for us.

A fantastic day out!

Joseph, our guide, was brilliant and ensured we got to see and experience everything, including seeing our food being removed from the volcanic ‘ovens’. We had a lot of fun and Joseph gave us plenty of interesting facts about the different locations we visited. The day was relaxed and we had plenty of time to see all the sights. Really recommend this trip and company

Our 2nd time! Wonderful.

This is the second time we have gone on this tour in three years. We really think it is a great tour and lots of fun and a wonderful way to see so much for a very short period of time. The guys are really making an effort to personalize the tour and give you information about the Island. I'd recommend it again -we thought Carlos was fabulous and we had such a fun time with him.
