All Sao Miguel Tours & Excursions in 2026

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

Fantastic introduction to the Azores. We scheduled this our first morning upon arrival and it provided us with a great overview of the Azores and the food, as well as recommendations for the rest of our time in Sao Miguel. Highly recommended. Lana was wonderful. Thank you.

It seems like a family owned business which was really nice! The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. He made sure to check in with everyone a few times throughout just to make sure everyone was good and didn’t have questions. We had been to a few different viewpoints of Sete Cidades before doing this, but i think it’s still worth it! It’s a different experience than just driving and pulling over. Also, you get to explore different areas/top of viewpoints that would only be reachable by walking /hiking etc.

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!
