What are people saying about Azores

Azores Whale Watching Tour – Ponta Delgada

David_K, Oct 2026

Wonderful whale watching trip

This was so easy to book so easy to get to in such a pleasant experience. I took the larger boat option which still had probably less than 50 people on it rather than the catamaran. We got close to the whales and saw several, but the cabins were able to get much much closer. Even more fun than the whales were the Atlantic dolphins who played in our wake on the way back after to shore. All of the guides and people involved in taking care of us and showing us the whales were wonderful friendly professional. I really enjoyed this trip and highly recommended it.

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

Sherry_H, Oct 2026

Andrea was our guide. She...

Andrea was our guide. She was terrific. Drove, exceptionally well, everywhere, and calmly and very articulately described every site, of which there were way too many to remember. Lunch was delicious; and she worked hard to make sure everyone got their order. And she made all of this look easy, tho I’m sure it isn’t. I highly recommend this tour. A nice blend of sightseeing and short, easy little hikes.

Small-Group Ponta Delgada Food Tour in Azores

Sara_K, Oct 2026

Wonderful tour for multi generations!

We absolutely loved our tour. We are a family of elderly parents and 2 middle-aged daughters visiting Sao Miguel for the first time. This tour was a perfect way to start our week. Lana and Dahlila were amazing guides! Lana shared so much history and culture to give us the lay of the land. Her local insights will be valuable throughout our stay - locating the farmer’s market, restaurants and shops to return to, points of interest on the island, etc. Dahlilah ensured that each stop was ready for us and prepared to share their many excellent dishes and drinks. We loved this tour - thank you!

How to spend your day on the island

This was a wonderful way to see a little piece of the island. Júlio, our tour guide was wonderful. He was attentive and kept us on track to be sure we got to see everything on the list. Highly recommend and if you get Júlio as your guide, even better.

Full-Day Nordeste & waterfall Tour with Lunch

Jennifer_L, Sept 2026

Fantastic day of beautiful scenery, excellent food and drink, and wonderful company

We had an absolutely wonderful day with Jose Miguel as our fantastic tour guide. Jose is so knowledgeable about the island, having grown up here and raised his children here. He took us to so many beautiful locations, with such a diversity in geography and interests. The short hikes were perfect, the food at the lunch restaurant was delicious and abundant, the breakfast pastry shop was really yummy, and most of all the views were amazing! We had lovely co-tourists and really got to know the whole island so well. You should definitely do this tour!

Stop over perfection

What a fantastic tour, absolutely loved it and recommend for a perfect overview of the beauty of the island João was so helpful starting the tour a little early when my stopover window was dramatically shortened He made sure I was at the airport right in time. I was shown so many hidden gems in our time together, so now I’ve got to return to have a full experience. Please take this tour, you will love it

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

Scott_H, Sept 2026

Amazing tour with an amazing guide!

We took a four wheeler and had an amazing time. It was the biggest the roads on the island felt for us since we got here. Our guide was one of the most patient kind people you could ever find and had great information at the stops. We would absolutely do this again except this time I think we would do the full day tour.

Canyoning Experience - half day

Tahl_R, Sept 2026

Went with my brother for...

Went with my brother for his 50th birthday. We had a blast. Due to some no shows we basically had a private tour so that made it extra special. The guides themselves Thomas and Alberto (I think) were the stars. So friendly and warm like they were our buddies just having a blast in nature. Two thumbs up for sure. Just know the physical requirements before booking.

Furnas Volcano & Tea Plantation With Traditional Lunch, East Tour

Jane_C, Sept 2026

Exciting, fun excursion

Mr Miguel was a fountain of interesting information with historical context. I’ve never known a guy who could answer every question in detail. We stopped at several places with gorgeous vistas and the beautiful botanical garden. The volcanic pools were particularly interesting and quite aromatic 😖.

Ponta Delgada Private City Tuk Tuk Tour

Sally_M, Sept 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👍🏻

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

Stacy_S, Aug 2026

Full adventure

Had a great time on this tour. Gorgeous views up close and personal with Sete Cidades. Plenty of opportunities to switch drivers if multiple people in one vehicle are of age. The only thing I would do differently is book a taxi back to my hotel as I did not have a rental ahead of time. The owners / tour guides were kind enough to call a taxi service for us, as service on my phone was non-existent at the meeting point.
