Our tour guide, Catia, provided lots of information about the area. She paid particular attention to us being comfortable and our needs being met. She learned all of our names and used them when addressing us. The van was very comfortable. Loved that Catia has a headset and the van had a speaker so that we could hear everything that she said. Lunch was plentiful and interesting - lots of traditional foods. The walk in the park was longer than comfortable for some guests, but the reward was stunning views. Very nice tour.

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.

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👍🏻

Furnas Volcano & Tea Plantation With Traditional Lunch, East Tour

patrick_m, Sept 2026

The Wonderful Eastern Island Adventure!

This is an outstanding travelling tour that is a must to explore the Eastern part of Sao Miguel! We were a small group of eight travellers who bonded well through our excursion. Our guide was exceptional, Joaquin ( sorry about the spelling) expertly transported us to various regions of the island, provided solid information, was pleasant and very personable. The sights were amazing, the luncheon was delicious and very, very ample. If you would like to learn about this island, book this trip! It’s much more than a 5 Star Venture!

Amazing, cannot recommend highly enough!

This trip was truly fantastic. AMAZING places to see with just the right amount of time given to each place. I really appreciated 1.5 hours in Terra Nostra so it was enough time to speed walk the park and have a 15 min dip in the hot springs. Dinner after was fab! Ok, the food isn't tasty but it was a fabulous experience and portions were enormous. My tour guide Andre is the best guide I've ever had! He really made the trip so special, I will never forget it. A group size of 8 is perfect. I can't fault this fabulous trip at all.

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

Julie_M, Jun 2026

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.

Cruise Travellers: Shore Excursion Sete Cidades & Furnas Volcano

Robert_G, Apr 2026

This great tour covered...

This great tour covered the key places to see on Sao Miguel, taking us to 5 or so main tourist attractions. All along from and to Ponta Delgada, we enjoyed beautiful scenery on the chosen route. The driver who functioned as the tour leader was very cordial and helpful. He provided us with historical information, factual information, and contextual information relative to the other islands, the Portuguese mainland, and the Azores's role yesterday and today. We also got pieces of fun information as we went along and he answered our many questions. I felt this was an excellent overview of Ponta Delgada and Sao Miguel.

This was an amazing private tour. Carlos was over the top we were in a cruise and we were delayed coming I. To the port. He was there waiting when we got off the ship. He was very informative and learned a lot about the area. We spent ample time at every stop and throughout enjoyed it all.
