Must-Dos in Ponta Delgada

What are people saying about Ponta Delgada

Half-Day Tour of the Seven Cities on San Miguel Island

Alfred_B, Sep 2026

A devoted local guide

We were fortunate to have João as our guide to some of the seven cities. João's devotion to the island that he represents is shining through at every turn and besides taking in the beautiful scenery his explanations made this excursion most enjoyable. The journey ended with a visit to the remarkable pineapple plantation where we could taste some of the final products. Overall we can highly recommend this tour. Muito obrigado, João!

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👍🏻

São Miguel West Van Tour: Sete Cidades & Fogo Lake + Lunch

patrick_m, Sep 2026

The Magical Mixup!

This was a wonderful experience! We were a part of two tours! We started on the Eastern Tour, but we were able to be reallocated to the proper Western Tour. This was a very informative venture. Our guide, João was an amazing leader who expertly led us through many fantastic areas of the Western regions of this island. The views were outstanding and a must to see! Joao’s ongoing narrative and storytelling certainly added to this trip. I would positively recommend this adventure. I thank the office organizers and both of our guides for making this a great day.

Azores Whale Watching Tour – Ponta Delgada

patrick_m, Sep 2026

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.

Full-Day Nordeste & waterfall Tour with Lunch

AZFAR_Q, Sep 2026

Great value and unbelievable views!!

If you want to see the paradise on the island, take this tour. Our guide Bruno was very friendly and knowledgeable. He covered all the waterfalls and gardens on this trip gave enough time to enjoy. Lunch buffet in a local restaurant was also very good. Pick up and drop off from our hotel made was very convenient. Strongly recommended!

Canyoning Experience - half day

Joanne_T, Aug 2026

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!

Adventure in the Furnas, with volcanoes, lagoons and tea plantations

Nina_S, Aug 2026

Amazing, cannot recommend highly enough!

This trip was truly fantastic. AMAZING places to see with just the right amount of time given to each place. I really appreciated 1.5 hours in Terra Nostra so it was enough time to speed walk the park and have a 15 min dip in the hot springs. Dinner after was fab! Ok, the food isn't tasty but it was a fabulous experience and portions were enormous. My tour guide Andre is the best guide I've ever had! He really made the trip so special, I will never forget it. A group size of 8 is perfect. I can't fault this fabulous trip at all.

Small-Group Ponta Delgada Food Tour in Azores

aurorita_p, Aug 2026

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.

Buggy Off-Road Excursion to Sete Cidades - HD

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.

8-Hour Private Tour in 4x4 Vehicle from Ponta Delgada

amber_r, Jun 2026

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!

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

Julie_M, Jun 2026

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.

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

Kayla_S, Jun 2026

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.
