Full description
Venture onto the Lake of Sete Cidades, one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal. Savor breathtaking natural scenery aboard your canoe on a lake embedded in the crater of an amazing volcano. According to an ancient legend, this stunning lake was the result of a failed love story between a shepherd and a princess who were not meant to be together. The last time they met, the princess, who had blue eyes, cried so much that the Blue Lake was formed, while the shepherd's tears gave birth to the Green Lake. Admire the mystical colors of the 2 lakes located on the western part of São Miguel Island, and paddle your canoe out on the Blue Lake. Have fun canoeing for 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours, depending on the option selected.

Al llegar, el kayak estaba preparado para tomarlo. El punto de encuentro fue facil de encontrar y la atención fue muy buena. En cuanto a la experiencia en el lago, fue espectacular, pasamos en una hora por las 4 estaciones pero la navegación fue sencilla y divertida. Disfrutamos mucho

A anfitriã foi super atenciosa e flexível, deixando-nos atrasar a actividade no momento. O passeio em si foi espectacular, com vistas de perder o fôlego e num ambiente pacífico e descontraído. No final do percurso ficámos a conversa com outro anfitrião, que nos recomendou vários sítios fora do roteiro turístico tradicional.

Muito fácil de encontrar o ponto de encontro. O elemento da empresa aguardava por nós com todo o equipamento, respondeu a todas as nossas questões, e ainda fez algumas recomendações. As canoas são muito estáveis, e dão segurança a quem tem pouca experiência, como é o meu caso. Em duas horas foi possível passear um pouco por ambas as lagoas. Mesmo com alguma chuva ocasional, a atividade foi muito agradável.
