All Sao Miguel Tours & Excursions in 2026

The information was clear and perfect to go there the price is good! And the company is amazing! A very nice activity to do and they give to you a rain coat fort the wind ! You can wear flipflop no problem because there is some water sometimes! 3 hours on the boat!

Such a great experience! We each got our own quads, and the tour covered so much ground. The pace was comfortable, the staff was wonderful, and the views—from high up on the mountain tops down through the small towns—were amazing. Definitely worth the money!

Other travelers should know we can’t control the weather so it is possible it could get cancelled for safety ours did n it was a bummer but the staff at the booth were very nice n professional n helpful with some unrelated questions we had. They even offered me employment very cool I would recommend to book it in the beginning of your trip so if you get postponed, you can still go. If the staff over at the volcano kayak tours read this here is my local contact when you visit the US the cool state of VT in the fall Thanks again. Aaron. aagreenmountain@yahoo.com.

This tour was amazing, all the sight we visited were worth going to. Our tour guide was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable. She explained a lot about the surroundings and the place we went to. My favourite places was the furnas and the tea plantation. Definitly can recommend this tour.

What a special day! We were very lucky to be the only ones for this tour. Had a chance to connect with our guide Andre on a different level and we really appreciated the conversation all afternoon. Be prepared to get dirty, there is a lot of dust. Check meeting point as there are a few different towns that have operators and you may need a taxi depending on where you stay. Superb service/wonderful experience!

tldr - you'll travel a short distance off the coast to reach an island with protected marine life. The boat circles the island, and you'll see a variety of wildlife through the glass bottom. Finally, you're given the opportunity to put on a wet suit and snorkel around the island for a closer view. We got to see quite a lot of wildlife during this tour. The marine specialist keeps visual aids so you can see images of all the different kinds of fish you may come across. Personally though I think it's better to just enjoy the view. The specialist will also share some interesting stories about the island, like an old coming of age ritual that involved using a rather precariously looking rock formation to cross a chasm. Snorkeling can be quite a challenge if you don't have prior experience. The water is still cold in June, and I was the only one in my family who participated. I'm very comfortable swimming laps in a pool, but I struggled with snorkeling, particularly breathing only through my mouthpiece. Still, if you are comfortable with snorkeling then you'll be treated to some spectacular views. There are quite a few fish that like to hide in crevices around the island and you'll need to dive into the water to catch them. A few of the more experienced divers also had photographs taken of them underneath the glass bottom. The staff are superb. The captain is clearly a people person, and regularly took time to get to know all of us. He sensed my kids were a bit nervous going into this ride and made sure to check in with us. On our way back to the port he let my daughter navigate the boat up until we were supposed to dock. She was absolutely thrilled to take the wheel, and I'm sure it ended up being one of her favorite memories of the trip. Once we returned to port the captain treated us to a quick drink in celebration of our journey. Adults get a small glass of port, children a glass of Kima passionfruit soda. In hindsight I would probably wait for my kids to be older before going on this experience, but it was certainly a great one!

Joao and his Spaniard and Venezuelan guides were the BEST! They were so much fun while being incredibly safe. This activity was the best we had in Sao Miguel and was a highlight of our trip to Azores. Highly recommend doing this if you want to experience waterfalls in a different way. If you’re lucky you’ll get the 3 guides we got, honestly such a memorable adventure. Don’t think about booking, just do it!

Pedro was a great guy with lots of local knowledge and history. The stop points were beautiful and he offered to take photos to capture our trip together. The ATV -quad was comfortable and easy to use. Pedro had a good sense of humor to top it all off. He answered any and all questions. Thank you Pedro
