Azores: Shore Excursion Furnas - Crater volcano and hot springs

4 to 5 hoursFree Cancellation

As a local, I’ve driven the road up to Sete Cidades hundreds of times and it still amazes me. The moment the caldera opens up, you see the largest lagoon in the Azores, also known as the green and blue or twin lakes, the village just there, the whole scene cupped inside a dormant volcano… nobody in the van says a word, just stares and gasps. That moment is why I built this Sete Cidades tour at São Miguel. Our West Coast Tour goes where most tourists reach and never reach, stop at four viewpoints including Vista do Rei, where the abandoned hotel, Monte Palace Hotel, stands above the green and blue lagoons, Boca do Inferno atop the volcano’s rim among others. Descend into the caldera for a local Azorean lunch, where the locals go, and a walk around the blue lagoon after, to let all that food go down smoothly. Small group, no rush, your own rhythm. Discover the many Lagoons of Sete Cidades. Reach high viewpoints atop volcanic walls.

This is not a show - it is an encounter. Nature-first, always.

What are people saying about Azores

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.

Unfortunately, it was a...

Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day with a lot of fog. We weren't able to see very much, but towards the end of the trip, the sky is cleared up to some extent. The tour guides Andrea and John took extra efforts to show us the views from different angle. Lunch was absolutely great catering to everybody vegetarians non-vegetarians. The history of all the volcanoes and islands were very well explained.

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

Whale Watching Tour + Vila Franca Islet: Full-day with lunch

Olivia, Sept 2026

So! Many! Dolphins!

What a fantastic day we had! The morning was spent with three separate dolphin pods (bottlenose, common, and Atlantic spotted) and gorgeous views of the southern Sao Miguel coastline. We easily saw over 100 dolphins, and at times they were less than a foot from the boat. Our guide was incredibly knowledgable about the animals and our boat's driver was respectful to turn off the engine and not crowd the animals. Lunch was ok, but it was nice to get out of the sun at the height of the day. You get cheese, bread, a non-alcoholic drink and a choice between beef, fish, and vegetarian for your main meal. In the afternoon we got to spent 2 hours in the Islet (snorkeling gear provided) which was a highlight of our entire Azores trip. The boat isn't too big which kept the tour group small and the dolphin experience extra special, but it does mean you feel the waves at times. We had a blast, but that experience isn't for everyone. Take into consideration if you have much older or younger members of your group. Pregnant individuals aren't allowed. All in all, would definitely recommend and would do again if we're back in the Azores!

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.

Azores Whale Watching Tour – Ponta Delgada

Jennifer_A, Sept 2026

Fun Experience…

We had a good time on the whale watching tour. We were lucky with good weather and ocean conditions. We saw common and bottle-nose dolphins and sperm whales. We were worried that the catamaran would feel too crowded, but there was plenty of space and everyone was able to view the animals. Pico de Adventures got us as close to the animals as they could while still respecting them. (We watched a small boat from another tour company get too close to the whales.)

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 😖.

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.
