Great all day tour.
This was a great all day tour also. We had a great time and a great meal of food cooked in the Caldeiras. The tea plantation was okay just extremely busy and crowded! The other stops were better. Lunch was not included but we ate at Tony’s and it was well worth it. Definitely a great tour to do if you are on Sao Miguel.

Whale Watching Adventure.
My wife and I booked this excursion hoping to see whales in their natural habitat. This venture was well organized with focus upon the hopeful expectations of the trip, safety and attention to detail. The crew was quite attentive to possible passenger needs and appeared to be quite available. We were fortunate to view two different species of whales. This was carried out in a proper manner with attention to not affecting the whales during our sightings. This was a pleasant day and thank - you to the crew for their help with this experience.

Lovely views and a great day
During the entire tour, José made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying their day. Each stop was beautiful and accompanied with informative commentary. The lunch buffet was so delicious. As an extra, we went to the liquor factory and managed to squeeze in a mini tour with the opportunity to buy some travel size Souvenirs. A great day and a great tour.

Great Tour. Beautiful Island
Our guide Manuel was excellent and took us to many very beautiful places. The tour was excellent but they should mention that there is a decent amount of walking and some climbing involved. As a senior with a cane, parts of the tour were quite difficult but I'm very happy I went. It helped that we had a great bunch of people. We had 8 different countries in the van (including the guide) out of 9 people.

A fun adventure!
We had a great afternoon with Tomas and Alberto! They made the experience fun and enjoyable. We were provided with all the gear we needed. Just show up and meet the company in the parking lot. All you need is a bathing suit. You can leave your shoes/clothing in their van for the duration of the experience. This was a lot of fun and great for the kids (ours were ages 8 and 11). Highly recommend giving this tour a try. It was great!

Best Day Tour Sao Miguel
Hugo was absolutely amazing! We could not have had a better guide. His love for the Island and knowledge really came through. We even got some extra surprises. He was kind and so genuine.
The tour was a perfect taste of the island. We got a good sense of what the island has to offer without being rushed. Food was amazing and the places we saw were incredible. This is my second time taking this tour and it is so worth it!

Joao was delightful. He...
Joao was delightful. He was friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about Ponta Delgada and Sao Miguel. He showed us the beauty of the island and explained everything so well. He was very easy to understand. We would do it again in a minute. Thank you Joao.

Great way to start our vacation
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.

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.

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!

Fun experience
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.

Book it!
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.
