Our boat trip starts on Flores Island and leaves Santa Cruz towards Corvo Island. It's an unforgettable trip because you'll see unique things that you can only find here. When we started the trip and still on Flores Island, we passed through Gruta do Galo and Cascata da Talisca. It is a unique and picturesque experience to get to know them. We then head towards Corvo Island where it is sometimes possible to see dolphins and whales on the trip. Upon arriving at Corvo Island, you can explore several attractions, such as visiting Caldeirão, the island's main attraction, a large volcanic crater with a lake in the center. Visit Vila do Corvo, the only village on the island, where you can find accommodation, restaurants and a glimpse of local life as well as the village's old mills. We are sure you will love it and shouldn't miss this trip. Bon voyage!

What are people saying about Azores

Kylie_I, May 2026

West Side of Azores

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Mariano! He took my sister and me on our tour and truly made the entire day unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and hidden details that we would have completely missed on our own. He kept everything fun and engaging while making us feel comfortable from the moment we met him. What really stood out was how personable and attentive he was, it felt less like a standard tour and more like exploring with a local friend who genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible. Mariano went above and beyond to make sure we were having a great time. If you’re lucky enough to get Mariano as your guide, you’re in for an incredible experience. He made our trip so much more memorable, and my sister and I would recommend him 100% without hesitation. Thank you, Mariano!

São Miguel West Full Day Tour with Setes Cidades Including Lunch

Joy_M, May 2026

Fantastic 5 stars tour

First off our guide (Katya) was amazing. She took us on an incredible trip around the island stopping at all the must see places and getting us there before the crowded buses pulled up. We also were so lucky to see the viewpoints at each stop before the fog rolled in. We were only a few of the groups who lucked out with amazing views this day and it was because our guide was awesome at driving and making good use of the time paying attention to the weather. Our family said this day was a huge highlight of our 19 day trip and would do it again with her in a heartbeat. We actually want to come back to have her show us more of her hometown. Bring rain gear but she will have umbrellas and ponchos if you forget. Wear hiking shoes or sneakers. There’s lots of walking and a hike included to the most famous spot. The lunch was great as well and included wine, coffee and dessert. We highly recommend this tour and getting Katya as your guide. Seriously, we all felt like family by the end of the day. Thank you for showing us your beautiful island.

Jaon (john) and Andrea...

Azores Whale Watching Tour – Ponta Delgada

WILLIAM_S, May 2026

Great dolphin & whale watching tour!

Absolutely an amazing tour! We whale in Cabo, Hawaii, and Alaska and this was a great location for it too. The highlight was following a pod of orcas for about 45 minutes. Even the crew couldn't believe our luck. The bottle nose dolphins were great to see too, but the orcas stole the show. The captain did his best to avoid heavy swells. I stood on the second deck at the railing facing forward and had a great unobstructed view, left, right and forward. The crew was very helpful and informative. Even identifying a whale that we had seen the day before on our cruise ship. We would do this tour every time we go to the Azores.

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!

Small-Group Ponta Delgada Food Tour in Azores

William_P, May 2026

See the city thru food. So good.

This was an excellent well-planned and executed tour of foods and restaurants to sample in Ponta Delgado. From breakfast to lunch with stops at the farmers markets and others. My wife and I enjoyed every stop. It’s a small group with excellent tour guides to discuss the city, history, culture and especially its foods. Five stars all the way if you want to sample the pleasures of the city’s foods.

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

Kate_P, May 2026

Beautiful and exhilarating experience!

Had a great time! You start on regular roads out of the town and then eventually end up on some dirt roads that have some more challenging terrain for the inexperienced ATV rider, but everyone seemed to handle it fine. I loved going around the rim of Sete Cidades and seeing both the crater and the ocean at the same time! Note your thumb can get a little tired when going up hill for so long. They let you switch drivers halfway through if you want at a bathroom stop in Sete Cidades.

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!

Off the Beaten Track Half Day Sete Cidades Jeep Tour

Paul_M, May 2026

5 stars - Book Pedro. Don’t overthink it.

Private Jeep tour of western São Miguel with four other passengers. Pedro was our guide, driver, historian, and honestly the best part of the day. He grew up in Ponta Delgada, knows the island the way only a local can, and spent the morning making sure we saw it the way it deserves to be seen. Stunning crater views at Sete Cidades, perfectly timed despite rapidly shifting weather. He adjusted the route in real time to maximize what we experienced, which made a real difference. Plenty of time for photos at every stop. Personalized, unhurried, deeply knowledgeable. Worth every dollar over any group bus tour. If you’re on a cruise stop with limited time, this is exactly how to spend it.

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.

Whale and Dolphin Watching in Pico Island - Half Day

Mary_C, Oct 2025

A real highlight of our visit.

Absolutely great experience. Our guides were intent on making sure we saw wildlife! We saw two types of dolphins, a tuna run, and two types whales. Masterful handling of the boat and great knowledge of the environment. (Remember to stand when you hit those waves:). ) Raingear and life jackets provided. All perfect.
