Looking for an unforgettable adventure? A 3-hour ride by the wheel of a buggy, along off-road paths along the mountain of Pico Island is like entering an adrenaline video game, but live and full of nature. Each curve brings a new landscape: endemic plants, volcanic terrain and forests that look like exits from a fairy tale, with closed curves and natural obstacles, but the reward is priceless: an horizon that seems to have no end, with the blue sea contrasting with the intense green of the vegetation and the ash of the volcanic rock. In the middle of the route, there is a short stop to recover breath and take pictures that will cause envy on social networks. It is also the time to feel the connection with nature: the wind in the face, the smell of volcanic earth and the sound of the waves in the distance. Tip: Do not forget to bring sunglasses, comfortable clothes and your best smile, because this is an adventure that will stay recorded in memory!

What are people saying about Azores

Small-Group Ponta Delgada Food Tour in Azores

Leanne_M, Nov 2026

Loaded with great tastes and learnings

Lots of food! Met at port, walked to try breakfast morsels along with knowledgeable guide, Lana. She told us so much about the history and commerce of the Azores. Then to a Farmers market, more nibbles, a restaurant for chorizo and a bean stew, more history and architecture info, cultural background info, a place for fish, beef and wine, more walking and then a dessert at the end. Really good. We learned loads. Lana was really professional and lovely person. We arrived late and she was very understanding. Recommend this tour. There were only seven of us so a really nice size group.

XIHONG_Z, Nov 2026

Thanks again, Mr. Joao!

Essential San Miguel: 2 Day-Tour of Natural Wonders & Top Spots

Ronda_E, Nov 2026

Lots Covered, Perfecting Pacing

We booked a 2-day tour in São Miguel which covered numerous volcano vistas, waterfalls, pineapple and tea plantations, cheese tasting, hot springs, gardens, our Lady of Peace sanctuary, lunches, geothermal cooking, bakery, ports, churches, a thermal bath, watching surfing. and so much more. The guide Henry was fantastic. He was well versed in the island's history, geology, and culture. We learned so much and the pacing was good. There was plenty of time to enjoy the sites. Some stops required moving and others required relaxing. The late October weather did not always cooperate during vista moments, but no one can control the weather, not even Henry. LOL It is so difficult to say which part of the tour was the best, so I say each part was the best of. Henry showed such consideration when he realized he could pick us up at our front door rather than down the street at the designated location. The 8-passenger tour van was clean and comfortable and pick-up timing was as described. We also had a chance to get to enjoy the company of fellow visitors from around the globe, in our case Austria, Greece, the US, and Canada. I highly recommend this Viator tour and Henry as tour guide, if you want an authentic, stress-free way to see the real Azores, rather than a crowded tour bus!

Volcano of Sete Cidades Private Tour

John_S, Nov 2026

A truly fantastic day!

Nilton was our guide. He is truly a local. He shared not only beautiful views of his island but also stories of his growing up on it and how it has changed. We saw some amazing sights and had a fantastic meal at his family's restaurant with incredible views. He even brought us through Ponta Delgado and wandered with my wife as she purchased some T-shirts for family and friends. It really felt like we made a friend. A wonderful experience all around!

Side by Side Tour - Sete Cidades from North Coast (Half Day)

Tartatatinyalgomas, Oct 2026

Very cool

There were two of us in a buggy, although on the same excursion there was a quad and another buggy driven by the guide. We had to cross a bit of countryside before entering the caldera area, sometimes by road and sometimes by trails. The excursion was very impressive, through and around the caldera and lakes of Sete Cidades, which is one of the island's biggest attractions, and thanks to the vehicles we accessed paths that, otherwise, you cannot reach by car. Several stops are made at strategic locations, including a final lookout point, Pedras Negras, toward the beach.

Sao Miguel East: Van Tour with Furnas & Nordeste

Deborah_S, Oct 2026

Great tour! Stunning...

Great tour! Stunning panoramic views and we were lucky to get a sunny day. We opted to skip Terra Nostra and got a lovely tour of Furnas instead where we dipped our feet in the springs and got to taste some naturally carbonated waters. Our lunch, a stew slow cooked in volcanic steam, was absolutely delicious. Joao, our guide, was a fountain of knowledge about the island and answered our every question. Thanks a bunch!

Off the Beaten Track Half Day Sete Cidades Jeep Tour

Shannon_F, Oct 2026

Highly recommend

We loved every second of this tour. The drive, the scenery and of course our guide. He was very knowledgeable & accommodating. The weather changes quickly there so he pivoted and made sure to allow us to see as much of the beauty as he could in the time given. Highly recommend for a first full day on the island tour.

Quad Biking - Sete Cidades from North Coast (Half Day)

Scott_H, Sep 2026

Amazing tour with an amazing guide!

We took a four wheeler and had an amazing time. It was the biggest the roads on the island felt for us since we got here. Our guide was one of the most patient kind people you could ever find and had great information at the stops. We would absolutely do this again except this time I think we would do the full day tour.

Ponta Delgada Private City Tuk Tuk Tour

Sally_M, Sep 2026

Must do on day 1

Tomás was such a sweet and great host throughout the tuktuk experience. My parents loved the experience he had planned and all the areas we explored throughout Ponta Delgada and some parts of Lagoa. Highly recommend to do this on arrival day, it’s a great way to get out and see the surroundings with a local who has pride in his origins and is eager to share it with us. Tomás, keep up the great work and energy, you are a true gem👍🏻

All West, Sete Cidades, Mosteiros, Ferraria - Private Tour

Donald_K, May 2026

The ultimate private tour!

Carlos was very kind, knowledgeable, caring and flexible. He picked us up at the cruise ship dock on time and toured us all around at our pace. He explained the historic and significant spots of interest and answered all of our questions. When we needed to stop for a restroom and lunch he gave us our choice of options. Carlos is the man! And the Azores are just amazing! Lastly he got us back to our cruise ship in plenty of time.

Richard_H, May 2026

Wonderful experience! ...

Wonderful experience! Our tour guide, Bruno, was amazing. Very knowledgeable of the areas and quite entertaining! We saw some incredible sites. I would recommend choosing one specific ‘area’ focus. Otherwise lots of driving time. No fault of their part.
