What are people saying about Sao Miguel

Furnas Night-Time Experience with Thermal baths and Dinner

Laurie_D, Sept 2026

My favourite Azorean experience

Loved this experience so much! I was nervous about being able to eat as a vegan, but the restaurant we went to, Tony's, had vegetarian cozido, which I was assured was vegan. Our guide was great and gave us a lot of good local insights, incredible views, interesting and unique things about the Azores. I won't spoil the surprise but it was very cool. The thermal baths at Dona Beija are incredible. Definitely recommend bringing a dark bathing suit so it doesn't stain, as well as a dark towel. You can rent towels there for 4 euros and a locker for 2.

Adventure in the Furnas, with volcanoes, lagoons and tea plantations

Todd_H, Sept 2026

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.

São Miguel: Sea Caves & Volcanic Cliffs Boat Tour

Patty_G, Sept 2026

Caves and Cliffs

This was such a nice excursion! The group was a good size, our guide was very knowledgeable, the sea caves were beautiful. The speedboat was fun. Would recommend for travelers wanting to see Sao Miguel from the vantage point of cliffs and the island from a boat.

Full-Day Nordeste & waterfall Tour with Lunch

Mila_Z, Sept 2026

Great tour

We had a wonderful experience on our excursion. Our guide was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, with a great personality. We learned so many interesting things throughout the tour and really enjoyed every moment. We also felt very safe and comfortable with his driving, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable and relaxing. Excellent service from beginning to end. We would definitely recommend this excursion and our guide to anyone visiting!

Off the Beaten Track Half Day Sete Cidades Jeep Tour

JoAnn_S, Sept 2026

Mom/Daughter (X 2) getaway...fantastic!!

We just returned from a week on Sao Miquel, and this jeep tour of Sete Cidades was the HIGHLIGHT! You'll drive on roads and see overlooks that you would not get to otherwise...breath-taking! Andre Cardoso was our driver, and I would completely recommend him. SO knowledgeable and friendly. He gave us plenty of time to see everything, take pictures, made sure we were comfortable, and answered our many questions, both of the sites, but also our curiosity about what life is like for the locals. DO NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!

Azores Whale Watching Tour – Ponta Delgada

Daisy_N, Sept 2026

100% recommend!

This activity was for part of our honeymoon. We opted for the speedboat option in the morning. There was a 20 minute brief at the start and you could also opt in for a rain jacket too. The tour was well organised, our guide knew a lot. Unfortunately we didn’t spot any whales but someone had radioed in that there was a sighting of something big and we got there as quick as we could but unfortunately missed it. However we did see plenty of dolphins! We saw common dolphins and Atlantic spotted dolphins. They were so close to us too it was incredible and what a sight! 😍 We was out for about 3 hours.

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!

Canyoning Experience - half day

Joanne_T, Aug 2026

A fun adventure!

We had a great afternoon with Tomas and Alberto! They made the experience fun and enjoyable. We were provided with all the gear we needed. Just show up and meet the company in the parking lot. All you need is a bathing suit. You can leave your shoes/clothing in their van for the duration of the experience. This was a lot of fun and great for the kids (ours were ages 8 and 11). Highly recommend giving this tour a try. It was great!

São Miguel East Van Tour: Furnas & Nordeste + Lunch

Heather_C, Aug 2026

We has a small tour to...

We has a small tour to the Eastern side of Sao Miguel with Fraga as our guide. The scenery and viewpoints were beautiful. We never felt rushed and met some very nice people in our tour. Fraga was very knowledgable and accomodating to everyone's needs. The lunch was very good. It was well worth it to have a guide so we world know exactly what to see alms have explanations about what we were seeing. I would highly recommend this type and Fraga as a guide.

Small-Group Ponta Delgada Food Tour in Azores

Carrie_M, Aug 2026

Great start to our trip. ...

Great start to our trip. It was the perfect way to orient to the island, its history and ponta delgada. We were able to try many foods and see the market where locals shop for fresh fruit/veggies and fish. Walking was not strenuous at all. A very enjoyable first activity for our trip!

Essential San Miguel: 2 Day-Tour of Natural Wonders & Top Spots

Julian_S, Jul 2026

Covers sao Miguel greatest hits much better than any one day tour

Okay. If you are looking at all in one tours this is probably the better option. There are one day tours of the island but you miss a lot doing it in one day. You really need two days to do it all which this tour does....basically all the greatest hits of the east and the west. Be aware that they sometimes change the order of the sites and sometimes flip around day 1 and day 2. If you want to see absolutely everything do this tour plus the "hidden gems" tour and maybe a boat tour as well (we did). A note about the lunches: there are other lunch places around the day of the volcanic lunch cozida al furnas but not many options on the second day. The buffet lunch is okay. But the volcanic lunch was a disappointment (sadly) as the food was nice but bland no seasoning no spice little flavor. My Azorean friends say the local versions are spicy so maybe they make it bland for the tourists. Ask for spice and seasonings for yours. Apart from the food a great tour it has everything. But don't forget the botanical gardens and thermal baths cost an extra 17 euros. And they want 3 euro admission for the volcanic park where they cook the food. But the botanical garden in Ponta Delgado is just as nice and it is free so go there and skip this unless you specifically want the thermal pools part. As I said a great tour and it would be basically impossible to rent a car and do all that driving yourself on very narrow winding and steep roads. Bom Dia!
