Caldeira das Sete Cidades

Lagoa das Sete Cidades, also known as Caldeira das Sete Cidades, is located in São Miguel Island. It is more precisely located northwest of the island of São Miguel, in Ponta Delgada. Lagoa das Sete Cidades is a freshwater lake and the largest in the Azores. It is one of the main tourist spots in the archipelago and was considered one of the 7 Natural Wonders of Portugal and is a protected landscape;

Mosteiros Beach

The civil parish of Mosteiros is a very popular area in the summer by locals and tourists in search of the sea, both for bathing and fishing. Also well known for the beautiful natural swimming pools and beach with an outstanding view over the islets.

Ponta da Ferraria

Located in the southwestern tip of São Miguel Island, in Ginetes, Ponta da Ferraria is a must stop for anyone visiting the region. Just as the whole island has its origins in volcanic geological phenomena that occurred in the past centuries, the beautiful landscapes that make up this place have also received strong influences from these phenomena in its geographic formation. The heat of the rocks combined with the seawater, becomes a place and unique experiences. The natural pools of hot water reach a temperature above 30º degrees and will certainly give you a relaxing and peaceful moment.

We did the Golden triangle tour, only 6 days, but only require a rest at home after. The support was superb. Cannot speak more highly of our guide, Scoobie. Educated, great sense of humour, fantastic knowledge of history and politics, and extremely clear English speaking local.

I'm not really a "tour" person, but it was our first time to Sao Miguel, and we weren't renting a car. So we figured the best way to see the island was with a jeep tour. My mom and I feel SO lucky that we got Filipe as our guide. Not only is he brilliantly knowledgeable about his island, but he shared stories with such naturalness and ease, it felt like a dear friend taking us around to his favorite incredible spots, with shockingly beautiful nature. Even in the cloudy drizzly weather, we were totally blown away. He was warm, positive, and has a fantastic sense of humor. The best tour guide we could ever imagine!!! Filipe's magic created an unforgettable experience, and made us truly fall in love with the island. Thank you so much.

Capacity of the jeep is for 5 ppl . Company tries to maxi it up a bit add in two more ppl on the back of the car. I had to go the full experience on this part of the car where the sits are placed on a vertical position. Super bumpy experience pressing with my legs to the front seat to not fell over all the time . It’s a pitty we paid over 150$ for this . The guide Rui was excellent ! He knew exactly where to stop and where to take the best picture. Very uncomfortable the whole experience ! Call before and make sure you don’t want to be seated there !!!!

Had a great tour with Filipe again who is an excellent guide . The weather was good this time round so saw all the sites on the tour, would highly recommend this company.

The sites we experienced were out of this world. We also loved the history and wildlife knowledge that our guide Joao Rego imparted during the tour. He was very interested in answering our every question. We even told him that the tour was like being guided by a friend.

The jeep was comfortable, the scenery was fantastic but more than all that our guide, Rodrigo, was brilliant. He was an excellent driver, very knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we were happy throughout. Highly recommended.

Came to the island without knowing anything but after full days with guide Philip I learnt so many things and had fun time. He's very flexible, even when there was something not included in tour but we really wanted to see he would make sure to find a way. Lunch was great in both places with wide selection of food. Did both tours on very cool jeep which could go through all the dirt tracks and narrow mountain roads. Highly recommend this agency and Philip :)

Hugo was great. He picked us up at the hotel, and took us to the most beautiful places in the island. The sceneries were fantastic. It was heavenly. Hugo was pleasant, friendly, easy going, flexible, and knowledgeable. We had a perfect day, and learned a lot too. Thank you Hugo.

We went on a tour with Hugo who was charming and informative. He showed is Ponta Delgado, then we drove east through Ginetes and Mosteiros, stopping at some breathtaking scenic locations before heading up to Sete Cidades and the blue and green lakes. Alas, we had a rainy day up at the crater rim so no big view down, but Hugo kept us entertained and laughing all the way. Great day!!

Tvascik

Started out with half day tour but the weather was good and Luisa (tour guide) was great so we extended to do a full day and head to sete cidades and lake Santiago. What a great decision.
