What a beautiful island
This was a great tour seeing the west side of the island. Katya (hope I spelt the name right) was so lovely and welcoming! She made sure to get to know every passenger (we had a full bus) and shared lots of local knowledge along the way. It was a great experience and I’m amazed by all the amazing sites we got to see; the island truly is beautiful. We saw a lot and a delicious lunch was included with drinks. I was lucky enough to have a group of lovely people from other parts of the world, it was genuinely a great experience. The staff were also kind and patient when I was running late to the meeting point. Thank you so much for this experience, I would highly recommend!

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

Great all day tour.
This was a great all day tour also. We had a great time and a great meal of food cooked in the Caldeiras. The tea plantation was okay just extremely busy and crowded! The other stops were better. Lunch was not included but we ate at Tony’s and it was well worth it. Definitely a great tour to do if you are on Sao Miguel.

Whale Watching Adventure.
My wife and I booked this excursion hoping to see whales in their natural habitat. This venture was well organized with focus upon the hopeful expectations of the trip, safety and attention to detail. The crew was quite attentive to possible passenger needs and appeared to be quite available. We were fortunate to view two different species of whales. This was carried out in a proper manner with attention to not affecting the whales during our sightings. This was a pleasant day and thank - you to the crew for their help with this experience.

Great value and unbelievable views!!
If you want to see the paradise on the island, take this tour. Our guide Bruno was very friendly and knowledgeable. He covered all the waterfalls and gardens on this trip gave enough time to enjoy. Lunch buffet in a local restaurant was also very good. Pick up and drop off from our hotel made was very convenient. Strongly recommended!

My mom and I are visiting...
My mom and I are visiting the Azores for the first time, with this tour being our first full day on the island. Sergio went above and beyond to share his favorite local recommendations and historical knowledge, making the most of the half day tour by saving the Sete Cidades view for the end since the morning was so foggy. I highly recommend booking a tour with Greenzone, it’s been a highlight of our Portugal visit!

Best Day Tour Sao Miguel
Hugo was absolutely amazing! We could not have had a better guide. His love for the Island and knowledge really came through. We even got some extra surprises. He was kind and so genuine.
The tour was a perfect taste of the island. We got a good sense of what the island has to offer without being rushed. Food was amazing and the places we saw were incredible. This is my second time taking this tour and it is so worth it!

Amazing experience!
Ze and Alberto were the perfect combination of fun but also safe. My girlfriends and I had a great time. I was nervous but wanted to do it all. They took care to know all of our names and made me excited to keep going throughout the adventure. Good level of adrenaline and suspense. Great communication throughout from getting our sizes for harness, shoes, wetsuits and helmet provided prior to arrival and throughout. Loved the pictures/videos we received within 24 hours. Strongly recommend the earlier day experience because the parking lot gets crowded. Beautiful scenery, waterfalls, and hike. Thank you for making our 50th birthday trip memorable!

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 way to see several views in the same excursion
My family (husband, 18 yr old son and 21 yr old daughter) all enjoyed ourselves. Instead of one 4-person UTV, we decided to get two 2-person UTVs so both my husband and I could have the opportunity to drive (and potentially the kids if they chose to, which they did not). We went on a mostly sunny day and the views were outstanding. This was our first trip to the Azores so we had no idea what was the best way to access views, and this experience allowed us to see several views we would have had to hike up to see, and gave us ideas about future excursions on our own.
While we all enjoyed ourselves, this excursion may not be for everyone. The UTVs were very loud and I had to almost yell to talk to my daughter next to me, but they do provide headphones to help cut the noise of the engine down. We all drove in a line (2 person ATVs in the front, 2 person UTVs in the middle and then 4 person ATVs), so the route is very specific and there is no opportunity to deviate. We drove on paved major roads about half the time, paved back roads about 20% of the time and dirt roads about 30% of the time. I absolutely have no confidence to drive the rental car whenever we travel to Europe, but I enjoyed myself driving the UTV because for the most part we were in a line and I just followed the person in front of me. When we got to stop signs, my daughter looked right while i looked left if we were on a blind corner. My family plays a lot of Mario Kart and it felt a bit like I was driving one in real life. I am happy we chose the 2 person UTV over the 2 person ATV because we had some shade as opposed to full sun the whole time.
Overall I recommend this excursion if you are new to the island and want to see 5 different views in a relatively short amount of time.

Best guide for bird watching and families!
I traveled to Sao Miguel with my husband and 3 kids. We wanted to see as much of the island as we could and knew that traveling with a local guide would be the best way to learn about the island. We booked two days so we could see different areas with the island and we were with Delfin for both of those days. He was such an informative guide telling us about the island, the people, the cows!, and the volcanic formation of the island. My husband was specifically interested in seeing the Priolo while we were there. Delfin made no promises that we would get to see it however we saw 15-20! Thanks to Delfin for knowing the territories to go to. We learned so much and had a great time thanks to Delfin and his patience with our kids as well!

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.
