What are people saying about Sao Miguel

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

Loretha_H, Jun 2026

Great times with the family, memories that will last

My husband and I brought our adult kids over to the island and so far this was the best thing we have done. You really cover a lot of ground and see things you can’t see driving. We all had individual quads, the only thing I would let everyone know is it can be very dusty. If you are in the back of the pack be very prepared for dust!! I highly recommend this tour.

São Miguel Azores: Furnas Evening Thermal Baths with tickets

Elise_R, May 2026

Gabriel was awesome,...

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.

Small-Group Ponta Delgada Food Tour in Azores

Judy_B, May 2026

Great excursion when you...

Great excursion when you first arrive to Ponta Delgado. It’s perfect timing if you are arriving in the morning and need to fill time before hotel check in. The tour provides an informative guide around the center and a delicious progressive meal at several local restaurants.

Jeep Tour Full Day Sete Cidades & Lagoa do Fogo with lunch and drinks included.

Nancy_T, May 2026

A potentially beautiful day

The guide, Raul Damasio, is wonderful especially given an extremely challenging day of dense fog. We didn't see any of the sights on the agenda. Deeply disappointing given the iconic nature of Sete Cidades. Raul did his best and we did end up closing the day with a visit to a gorgeous waterfall. The tour should have been cancelled. The fog was terrible. Zero visibility for the majority of the day.

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

APRIL_P, May 2026

Furnas day trip is a must see!

Wonderful! The drive from Ponta Delgado takes you North and then to Furnas and loops South after so you really get to see the dramatic scenery. Furnas is a must see! Lots of stops. Bring towel, flip flops, swimsuit to enjoy the thermal bath in Furnas. Guide Miguel was great and so were the other group travelers!

Furnas Volcano & Tea Plantation With Traditional Lunch, East Tour

Yvonne_M, May 2026

A fantastic day out!

Joseph, our guide, was brilliant and ensured we got to see and experience everything, including seeing our food being removed from the volcanic ‘ovens’. We had a lot of fun and Joseph gave us plenty of interesting facts about the different locations we visited. The day was relaxed and we had plenty of time to see all the sights. Really recommend this trip and company

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

James_D, May 2026

Great adventure. You’ll...

Great adventure. You’ll need to walk to the town taxi stand to get a ride to the meeting location. The cost was 15 euros (one-way). Bruno, the tour operator, helped us call a cab for the trip back to the cruise port. Be sure to wear layers and the temps really change along the way. Enjoy!

Ponta Delgada Private City Tuk Tuk Tour

Jason_M, Apr 2026

Ponta Delgada Tour

I was looking for something to do while my family went coastering. It ended up being very windy so my family’s activity was canceled. Because I had booked a private tour my two family members were able to join in at the last second (for the normal add on person fee which we found be small and fair). Riding around on the tuck tuck was the perfect experience for the area as the streets are very narrow. I don’t think my family would’ve explored so much of the city area if we had not been on this tour. We are more of the nature and hiker types. The tour was a perfect complement to our other activities. A nice change of pace! The guide was very knowledgeable and gave the tour with a sense of humor, which we appreciate. We were given the time and space to absorb the stops. Never in a rush. The guide even helped us find a vegan restaurant in the city for after the tour going so far as to call and check if we needed to have reservations. Highly recommend.

Azores Whale Watching Tour – Ponta Delgada

Xin_X, Apr 2026

Great experience -...

Great experience - despite light rain, we were able to see Orcas, Common dolphins and Bottlenose dolphins. Did not feel rushed. The kids enjoyed it too. We were on the Catamaran boat but it is still somewhat rocky on the ocean, as expected I guess, and my partner did get sea sick. The crew members were very used to this and were very helpful. Their tip of not staying in the interior room if you are prone for sea sickness was very valuable.

Canyoning Experience - half day

Tabitha_R, Apr 2026

AMAZING experience and FANTASTIC guides

This was the most amazing experience we had while in Sao Miguel, which is saying a lot since this is one of the best places we have traveled to. The guides, Tomas and Warren, were AMAZING- they were so kind, patient, encouraging and knowledgeable. We did this tour with our 13 and 9 year old children, and we all had a blast on this incredible adventure while seeing some of the most beautiful views. They took pictures for us and helped our kids throughout the experience so my husband and I could focus on the experience. I can not give enough praise to the guides and the experience itself, this is an absolute must do, and when we return to the island we will book this again! I would recommend wearing a bathing suit and/or sweat wicking material to wear under the wet suit (no cotton). They provide all the gear, head to toe. You may also want to bring towels and a change of clothes for after. There are facilities at the meeting point for changing and a lovely little cafe.

Swim with Wild Dolphins in the Azores

Alyssa_K, Oct 2025

Don’t even think twice about booking this experience!!

This was probably one of the top 3 experiences of my life!! I was hoping to maybe see some dolphins from the boat and then maybe 1 or 2 in the water but holy cow!! We saw SO MANY DOLPHINS while in the water! They were so curious and one got incredibly close to me and looked me in the eyes - it was a moment I will never forget. Even the people working on the boat were freaking out about how cool that was! The boat ride was so fun, the people were incredibly nice and it felt very respectful of the environment and dolphins. I seriously cannot recommend this enough!!
