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.

A great 3 hours visiting two caves, looking at the volcanic flow formed. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. You do need to be aware the ground is very uneven, the ceilings can be very low and there are steps! Having said that it was amazing to see the caverns and formations. Very beautiful 😍

Raphael was a great tour guide - very friendly and informative. We learned some history about the area as well as the local food and drinks. He was also a good source of information about things to do on the rest of our trip. The pace of the tour was good. We were able to sample many types of food, including breakfast, tea, fruit, a delicious lunch, and dessert. I highly recommend! My family (husband, 18 yr old son, 21 yr old daughter) and I all enjoyed ourselves.

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.

Such a great experience! We each got our own quads, and the tour covered so much ground. The pace was comfortable, the staff was wonderful, and the views—from high up on the mountain tops down through the small towns—were amazing. Definitely worth the money!

The buggy ride was really fun and we ended up seeing several amazing view points even though we couldn’t see the blue and green lakes from the viewpoints as there was too much fog. We did get to ride around them on a trail and it was beautiful. The guide was really good and patient with the group. It was an amazing experience.

A great way to see the island without having to rent a car (you would be fine driving around town, but getting to some of the highlight spots in Sete Cidades, for example, are easy to miss or require a half day hike). We had João and Eric for the two days and they were both very friendly and knowledgeable, taking us to many sightseeing/photo ops and local places over the two days. You do travel in a 8 or 10 passenger van though, which allows you to get to some of the harder to navigate spots, but I would recommend motion sickness meds (if you’re like me and haven’t sat in the back of a van in a while) and layers, as the weather changes rapidly. Can’t recommend this tour enough, though, and the lunch option is well worth it to get a real taste of the local cuisine.

Our tour guide who grew up on the Island gave us an enthusiastic well rounded introduction to the Azores. He met us on time at our ship, was knowledgeable and courteous.The pineapple growers were not very exciting…… but part of their story…. Beautiful Island to experience and explore.
