All Ponta Delgada Tours & Excursions in 2026

I had a wonderful time on this tour! It was both very pleasant and informative. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great experience.

We had a wonderful tuk tuk experience with a kind and accommodating local guide Tomas! We enjoyed getting some history behind the Azores and the sites around Ponta Delgada that we would have missed otherwise. Thank you Tomas for a fantastic introduction to Ponta Delgada!

The company were great, personnel knowledgeable and friendly. We had a good time and got to see two different types of dolphin. I would say for anyone who wants to see whales, make sure you do a zodiac boat and not a catamaran. We were told there were whales sighted but we saw no whales, while I understand it’s not guaranteed, there were no zodiac boats anywhere in sight where we saw the dolphins, so I assumed they were off viewing the whales while the larger vessels did the dolphins. It was still a great experience and the dolphins were beautiful but I think expectations could be managed more openly.

Okay. If you are looking at all in one tours this is probably the better option. There are one day tours of the island but you miss a lot doing it in one day. You really need two days to do it all which this tour does....basically all the greatest hits of the east and the west. Be aware that they sometimes change the order of the sites and sometimes flip around day 1 and day 2. If you want to see absolutely everything do this tour plus the "hidden gems" tour and maybe a boat tour as well (we did). A note about the lunches: there are other lunch places around the day of the volcanic lunch cozida al furnas but not many options on the second day. The buffet lunch is okay. But the volcanic lunch was a disappointment (sadly) as the food was nice but bland no seasoning no spice little flavor. My Azorean friends say the local versions are spicy so maybe they make it bland for the tourists. Ask for spice and seasonings for yours. Apart from the food a great tour it has everything. But don't forget the botanical gardens and thermal baths cost an extra 17 euros. And they want 3 euro admission for the volcanic park where they cook the food. But the botanical garden in Ponta Delgado is just as nice and it is free so go there and skip this unless you specifically want the thermal pools part. As I said a great tour and it would be basically impossible to rent a car and do all that driving yourself on very narrow winding and steep roads. Bom Dia!

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!

This adventure was the highlight of our trip! Our family of four, including two teen boys ages 18 and 19 each had our own quads. The boys had never driven one before and did great. The guides were very friendly and offered to take photos at every stop along the way. We had a perfect day of weather for stunning views. Would recommend 10/10.

Gabriel was awesome, funny, and so knowledgeable. He took us to a lookout point to get some nice photos before the thermal baths and showed us around Furnas. We had a nice long soak in the baths and it was so worth it. He dropped us off right at our hostel so relaxed and ready for an awesome sleep. The evening option was even better than daytime in my opinion. This is a must do if you’re on São Miguel.

Terrific mix of activities from thermal baths, traditional cooking and eating, to beautiful sites. Our guide, Jose Miguel, is a walking encyclopedia with deep knowledge of Portugal and the Azores, specifically. He delights in teaching. He also knows how to navigate around the fog to optimize the experience. A wonderful tour. Highly recommend.
