After our walk in the landscape of Pico Wine, to refresh our feet, we drive you to one of our favorite natural swimming pools, in an amazing setting or just lay down for a bit, exchanging more local stories and preparing your appetite for the next stop.

São Miguel East Highlights: Furnas, Nordeste & Lunch

KinHung_T, Jul 2026

Must do tour for Sao Miguel East

First of all, we had great communication with Julia from Pure Azores prior to the tour. The EV van is comfortable and pick up from our hotel was prompt. Besides being a competent driver, our tour guide Clara is also very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to the group. We had plenty of time to enjoy all the sights. One of the best tour we had in our 40+ years of travel and we highly recommend it.

Experiencing Sao Miguel!

Went on this tour with a group of friends, and we had a great time! There was a lot of beautiful sights to see that we would never have seen without an experienced guide and driver. The buffet lunch was delicious and we had tons of food to eat to our hearts content. João was a great tour guide, and would highly recommend a tour with him anytime!

8-Hour Private Tour in 4x4 Vehicle from Ponta Delgada

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!

Cruise Travellers : Blue & Green Lake and Furnas Volcano wonders

Therese_D, Jun 2026

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.

Cynthia_G, Jun 2026

Tremendously helpful guide and a terrific tour.

This full day tour of Terceira Island can’t be beat. The local sites, the island’s history, and the scenic drives can’t be missed. But the tour guide, André, made the day really special. He’s so knowledgeable and eager to share island facts with you. More importantly, at every stop André would ask each person were they doing OK. Did we have any questions? Was there anything we wanted more information on ? Were we comfortable? This was super helpful.Don’t miss this tour with this marvellous guide.

Definitely well worth doing

Interesting and informative tour around a fascinating and beautiful island. Our driver and guide José was excellent - informative and friendly (without being too talkative all the time, which is a risk on this sort of tour). Excellent lunch included too - cooked in a natural hot spring :) All in all, heartily recommended! --Tim

A Winner of a Tour For Thermal Baths Fans

What a fantastic evening on this tour! The small group allowed for everyone to get to know each other a bit which is something I love when traveling. Eduardo was knowledgeable, informative, and a lot of fun! The dinner at Tony’s was absolutely delicious and the baths in Furnas were such a unique experience to have at night. Definitely got to have an experience we wouldn’t have otherwise had on our own. Don’t miss out on this one!

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.

Full-Day Nordeste & waterfall Tour with Lunch

Dolly_G, Apr 2026

Nordeste

The views are fantastic. Our guide Joaquin was just excellent with his outlook to life and enthusiasm that made the trip so much better. Finally Mother Nature is at its best with human interaction. Even though it was raining towards the last quarter, it should be expected in this area. Highly recommended

Azores: Shore Excursion Furnas - Crater volcano and hot springs

Virginia_S, Apr 2026

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.

Best East Sao Miguel Highlights

Great way to spend a day with some interesting highlights. Tea plantation was a good location for a glimpse of the countryside and a chance to grab authentic souvenirs. Furnas was absolutely worth the visit and the traditional lunch delicious. My favourite part was the Botanical Gardens and thermal pools. Recommend this tour, our guide was great!

São Miguel Full Day Guided Tour to Furnas with Lunch Included

Brian_S, Feb 2026

Great day tour

Good tour in minibus driver was very friendly however I don't think any driver should be drinking alcohol at lunch whilst on duty. The thermal baths and park is €17 extra or €13 for seniors not €8 as stated on my confirmations the water in the baths is orange and get on your skin Lunch was ok but two people plus driver had different meal ours was a slow cooked earth one. I would recommend the tour overall
