Such a fun adventure for...

Such a fun adventure for both adults & kids ages 9 through 46! Our tour guides made us all feel comfortable and safe, even my 9yr old son who didn’t think he would do the big jump at the end (he did it!). We had Ipa & Z as guides & they were both so much fun, filled with positive energy & so kind to everyone.

Faial volcanoes and landscapes full day tour

Excellent full day tour of all the volcanic scenic viewpoints on Faial. Ramiro was a great tour guide and explained everything with lots is energy and enthusiasm. Epic views of the Caldeira Cabeço Gordo in the centre of the island, a 2,000m wide crater that is so big it’s difficult to take it all in. Then we had time to hike around the otherworldly landscape of the Capelhinos volcano, a couple of square kilometres of land that were added by a volcanic eruption just 68 years ago - it was mesmerising to look at. Good lunch at a locals’ restaurant was included. Overall a great day out!

Wonderful West Tour

Joao was a wonderful guide. Funny, and educational. Also a great driver. The tour was lovely, hitting lots of spots in the west. We got cloudy weather on higher elevations spots, but that's not knock on the tour itself. Lunch was amazing with tons of variety, and a surprise because I assumed we were only getting a sandwich. Will definitely travel with them again

A week's worth of fun in one day

So glad we opted for a guided jeep tour to Sete Cidades & Lagoa de Fogo. Our guide was an expert in finding cloud breaks to catch amazing views. He creatively navigated our day to show more of this beautiful island than we could see in a week on our own. Highly recommend!

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.

Incredible food tour - a MUST

We had an amazing experience with Hungry Whales Azores Food Tour. Marco and Lana were an absolute delight. They were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the area, providing an in-depth tour filled with local history, culture, and fabulous food. We sampled a wonderful variety of foods, and they were very accommodating with food allergies, which we truly appreciated. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and the meeting location was easy to find. The experience was so enjoyable that we would absolutely book another tour if we were staying longer. Highly recommend this tour if you are visiting São Miguel! Thank you!!

Highly recommend this tour!

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.
