The unforgettable beauty of this memorable place, the most visited of S Miguel Island, displays the gigantic volcanic crater of Sete Cidades and its wonderful Green and Blue Lagoons. A true story of eternal love sorounded by an amazing reborn volcanic landscape
On this tour along the West Coast of the island of S. Miguel, we take you to visit the most iconic place in the Azores, the volcanic crater of Sete Cidades and its Green and Blue Lakes. Before getting there, we pass by Pico do Carvão, where we can enjoy a wonderful view of the central part of the island and at the same time the north and south coast, with its Mountains of Fogo and Vara in the background. As we climb, we arrive at Vista do Rei, as it has been called since the visit of El-Rey D Carlos I, where we can appreciate the unique beauty of this dormant volcano. Going towards its interior, a brief stop at another Lagoon, Santiago's, the deepest and most hidden, until we reach the bridge that separates the Green and Blue of this lagoon. In the parish, simple and beautiful, time to walk to the side of the lagoon, visit the church of S Nicolau, or simply have a coffee with the local people.
Leaving these paradise, we'll head back to Ponta Delgada, in time to visit the pineapple production greenhouses, with a unique flavor in the world, and enjoy a fruit tasting while learning about the history of its production. We finish our tour back to Ponta Delgada

Great tour and the guide was very knowledgable. Stopped for great photos! I highly recommend if your on a cruise ship to see a snippet of the island on a short stop
Mario was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable. The two lakes were picture perfect and worth the 1/2 day tour.
Hi Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure to have you on our tour All the best Mario
Wonderful tour, but we were disappointed that it was advertised as a small group tour in van or mini bus and there were 34 people on the door in a full-size bus
Greetings Thank you so much that you enjoyed our tour and our Island. Hope to see you in the near future exploring another tour to a different area in our beautifull S Miguel Island
Mario was wonderful. At our first stop, I started feeling very nauseous and asked if he had a barf bag because I was getting sick. From that moment on, he was incredibly kind, attentive, and accommodating. He moved me to the front of the bus so I would be more comfortable and went out of his way to help me for the rest of the trip. He truly saved me from what could have been a horrible experience. I’m very grateful for his kindness and highly recommend this tour.
Hello, Thank you for your review. I just did my best for you to enjoy as much as possible this few hours out of the ship. Hope you return to this island to enjoy a lot more of what it has to discover. Thank you again for your kind words. All the best too you and your friend. Mario
It was a bus tour of the sete ciudad lakes and a pineapple growing facility with a very knowledgeable young man Mario He was our driver and our guide. While driving he imparted a wealth of knowledge about his home island with most importantly a great sense of humor 🙂
Greetings Roibert, Thank you for your review. It is good to know that you have enjoyed our tour to the Island. Special thanks to the "young man" kind words :) I try to keep the Young Spirit while the Body is complaining :) Thank you once again, and hope to see you back in Azores.
Mario, our tour guide, was outstanding. He was very thorough and interesting in describing the island and the things we were going to see. He told us that he had gotten feedback from previous customers that he talked too much. I assured him that no, it was perfect. Would definitely use them again - especially when there is adequate time after the tour to return to the cruise ship. Much less expensive than the excursion offered by the cruiseline.
Greetings and Thank you for your review. It was definetely a pleasure to have you on board our tour bus and take you to explore this beautifull Island. Also thank you for your kind words of appreciation. Hope to see you back in Azores to see and TALK :) a lot more... All the best Mário
Mario was our driver and tour guide! He did an excellent job driving our group safely around the island and giving us a lot of information pertinent to the tour and to your beautiful country! He had a good sense of humor and made it fun for us! Job well done Mario!!!
Greetings, Thank you for your review. Good to know that you felt comfortable and enjoyed this tour to the Island. Hope to see you back in a near future to explore a lot more. All the best Mario
Make certain to ask questions about the area or about some of the history if you don’t receive enough information to your liking. Beautiful tour.
When we arrived to the island the it was raining but thankfully the weather cleared up and it was a beautiful day. The terminal where the tour met the cruise ship was a little chaotic but we found our driver Tim. The coach was comfortable and Tim gave us great information the island and the history of the Azores. A couple of great picture stops opportunity to grab a bite to eat and pick up some souvenirs. The pineapple farm was also informative and a great addition to the 1/2 day tour. Tim dropped us at the town square near the cruise terminal where more shopping lunch opportunities were available. Well worth the money
Beautiful views and great engaging tour guide. Comfortable van for group travel. Various stops for pictures. Thank you
Greetings Thank you for your review. All our best efforts to make your feel comfortable and enjoy the best of our beautifull Island Warm regards, Mario
