Great start to our trip. ...

Great start to our trip. It was the perfect way to orient to the island, its history and ponta delgada. We were able to try many foods and see the market where locals shop for fresh fruit/veggies and fish. Walking was not strenuous at all. A very enjoyable first activity for our trip!

Great 1/2 day.

Nuno was great! A 1/2 day-tour was perfect for us. We got to see Sete Cidades and visit the village, while Nuno shared some interesting history and stories about the island. The Jeep was clean, comfortable, and the ride was smooth. We really enjoyed the experience.

After having to...

After having to unexpectedly cancel a previous booking due to being soaked through in a storm just before reaching the meeting point, Azorean Tales kindly allowed us to rebook with a very short notice. The trip we then had with our guide Carlos was wonderful. We enjoyed the many stories about life on the azores, a delicious lunch and nice explanations on the ananas and tea plantations, and the hot springs. Very full day, but such a nice experience.

Beautiful trip !

It was a great experience and an enjoyable drive on the big catamaran boat. The guides and the marine biologist Narea were full of interesting information. You could see there passion for the beautiful wildlife. We took the morning trip and were able to see a sperm whale (Dotty) and a group of spotted dolphins.

Amazing adventure!

Arrived and put on wetsuits and boots. Then we hiked some to get to the different adventures. I would say it was a little more technical than I anticipated but it was so much fun! Felt very safe-had 5 children with us ages 11-6 and they did very well. Our tour guides were very friendly, very good with the kids, made us feel very safe. I would recommend to anyone looking for a fun adventure!

Must do to see a lot of the one side of Sao Miguel

Had a wonderful day with Elton. The van is comfortable and has AC, Elton uses a microphone so everyone can hear what he has to say regardless of where you sit. The buffet lunch was a highlight, we thought it was a wonderful experience to have some local food. Had some spectacular view point stops, as well as a couple short hikes. The only thing I would have changed was wearing different shoes, I had ON cloud tennis shoes on but they did not offer traction during the hikes.

Cheryl_G, Aug 2026

Fantastic boat ride, lots of dolphins

When we booked this I thought we would be on a big boat, however when we got there it was sort of rubber dinghy sort of speedboat! (I’m sure it has a name) If I’d known I probably wouldn’t have booked it however I’m soo pleased I didn’t know as it was fantastic. We saw so many dolphins and felt closer to them as on smaller lower boat.. really sorry but I didn’t make a note of our hosts names, one was studying marine biology I believe and she was lovely, don’t know his name sterling the boat even tho they introduced themselves. Lunch was great, best tuna steak I’ve had here and my partner liked his steak. Time to swim to. Thoroughly recommend this trip!

This was Hands Down so fun and such a cool experience. If you’re in Terceira island please book this tour. You get to see so many cool things and amazing views. This part of the island is so cool with the forest and views for three other islands. Will definitely book this again when we come back.

Buggy Off-Road Excursion to Sete Cidades - HD (shared buggy)

Candice_G, Aug 2026

Great experience - super fun.

Such a great experience and tour. First, it was a full 4 hour tour. No corners cut. We traveled paved roads, dirt roads and paths allowing us to see many aspects of the west side of Sao Miguel. We briefly stopped for snacks and restroom in a lovely town. . Our guide, friendly and gregarious, made sure we were safe and comfortable; he also offered helpful commentary/insight at various stops throughout the trip. He always took us to "just the right spot" at each stop, allowing for great vistas and outlooks. He took great pics of our family, for which we are grateful. Our "buggy" was clean and in great working order. If (when?!) we return to Sao Miguel, we will definitely do this tour again with this company! Super fun. Recommend highly. Tips: bring face protection (we wore bandanas / buffs) and sunglasses (or more) for eyes. Sometimes, dust gets kicked up if traversing dry roads. Also, wear / bring layers - can get a bit colder in some spots as cross island microclimates.

Great Experience

It seems like a family owned business which was really nice! The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. He made sure to check in with everyone a few times throughout just to make sure everyone was good and didn’t have questions. We had been to a few different viewpoints of Sete Cidades before doing this, but i think it’s still worth it! It’s a different experience than just driving and pulling over. Also, you get to explore different areas/top of viewpoints that would only be reachable by walking /hiking etc.

Debra_C, Jul 2026

An Unforgettable Day Exploring São Miguel!

Our Full-Day Jeep Tour of Sete Cidades and Lagoa do Fogo was one of the highlights of our trip to the Azores! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, but what made the experience truly exceptional was our tour guide, Jose. Jose was the perfect representative for both the tour company and the island of São Miguel. His knowledge of the island’s history, culture, geology, and natural beauty was incredible, and he shared it in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. It was clear how deeply he cares about preserving this amazing place for future generations, and his passion for conservation added so much meaning to the tour. Throughout the day, Jose made sure everyone was comfortable, answered every question with enthusiasm, and took us to spectacular viewpoints that we never would have found on our own. His pride in the island was contagious, and by the end of the tour we had an even greater appreciation for the people, landscapes, and efforts to protect this special destination. If you’re visiting São Miguel, don’t hesitate to book this tour—and if you’re lucky enough to have Jose as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable experience. Five stars all the way!
