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!

Great one-day tour of São Miguel!
A great one-day tour of São Miguel, Açores. Fun, informative visit to Gorreana Tea Factory, and the volcanic Lagoa das Furnas and the town of Furnas with its many sulfur vents were beautiful and fascinating. A great local lunch included, followed by a visit to the beautiful Terra Nostra botanical garden and soaking hot springs. Guide Jen was friendly and very informative. We had a great time!

Carlos was very informative. He took the time to answer all our questions with great detail and was very knowledgeable about the island and its history. The Cozido das Furnas at Tony’s restaurant was amazing! Follow that up with a visit to the hot springs at Terra Nossa Park. It was the perfect day. Highly recommend this trip!!

Furnas adventure
It’s along day but you see some majestic views and the beauty of the Azores. The Furnas lunch is delicious but a lot of food. Our guide Andrew was fantastic.
