What are people saying about Ponta Delgada

Steven_T, Aug 2026

Highly Recommended!

Our Tuk-Tuk ride - on the only Tuk-Tuk in the Azores - was both fun and informative. Tomas is friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about his beautiful home island. The length of the trip was exactly right, and we enjoyed ending the trip at the pineapple plantation.

Great 1/2 day.

Nuno was great! A 1/2 day-tour was perfect for us. We got to see Sete Cidades and visit the village, while Nuno shared some interesting history and stories about the island. The Jeep was clean, comfortable, and the ride was smooth. We really enjoyed the experience.

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.

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.

Despite the rain, our tour guide Miguel did such a wonderful job of showing us around! We loved all the beautiful waterfalls! When clouds blocked views of the coast of Nordeste, we went to a liquor factory and chocolate factory instead where we were able to enjoy a lot of the local delicious alcohol and treats. We agreed that going on the tour was a terrific way to spend an unpredictable rainy day! All thanks to Miguel! Thank you!

Azores Whale Watching Tour – Ponta Delgada

Helen_I, Jul 2026

Dolphin watching

The company were great, personnel knowledgeable and friendly. We had a good time and got to see two different types of dolphin. I would say for anyone who wants to see whales, make sure you do a zodiac boat and not a catamaran. We were told there were whales sighted but we saw no whales, while I understand it’s not guaranteed, there were no zodiac boats anywhere in sight where we saw the dolphins, so I assumed they were off viewing the whales while the larger vessels did the dolphins. It was still a great experience and the dolphins were beautiful but I think expectations could be managed more openly.

Must do!!

This adventure was the highlight of our trip! Our family of four, including two teen boys ages 18 and 19 each had our own quads. The boys had never driven one before and did great. The guides were very friendly and offered to take photos at every stop along the way. We had a perfect day of weather for stunning views. Would recommend 10/10.

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!

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.

Furnas Volcano & Tea Plantation With Traditional Lunch, East Tour

Nancy_T, May 2026

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.
