What a wonderful experience!!! We had a very knowledgeable guide with incredible enthusiasm. Just so fun! Starts off with a short hike through the tea fields then a factory tour.

Our guide, Miguel, was very personable, knowledgeable and patient. He was a wealth of information on not only the tea plantation, but also on other information about Sao Miguel. We enjoyed the hike up to the top of the plantation. Miguel was very accommodating with stopping to rest, to get water, and to take photos. The tea factory was great to visit. We sipped two kinds of tea, and purchased tea to take home from the gift shop. The ride back to the hotel included the sharing of more tidbits of information on Sao Miguel. I would highly recommend the Big Blue tour company and specifically Miguel.

Everything, mainly the hike in the tea plantation and the chat with the guide. Highly recommend for everyone!

Andre, our guide from Big Blue Adventures, was very knowledgeable and personable. He is a trained and certified tour guide, which showed compared to other tours we took in Sao Miguel! He picked us up promptly. We drove to the tea plantation and then did a ~3.4km hike. The hike goes about 400 meters uphill before descending through the tea fields to the tea house. We got to see the plants up close and personal, and see the workers in the field too. Andre explained everything for us. The tasting was a little disappointing: all that was offered was a green tea and a black tea dispenser at the plantation’s cafe/gift shop. Overall, an educational experience that is a good half-day tour.

My guide Manuel was great. Nice challenging hike up plantation. I enjoyed tasting 3 delicious teas with cookie. He was very informative. He even gave me quick car tour of historical center and even recommended wonderful local places for lunch. I highly recommend this excursion.

The plantation is beautiful and the information regarding the process is educational. However, the experience only took around 15 minutes. There was no speaker or guide and the equipment was not running when we were there.
