Full description

Explore the highlights of the western half of São Miguel island on this guided tour by van. Discover the famous crater lakes of Sete Cidades and Lagoa do Fogo, picturesque waterfalls, amazing cliffs, and stunning rock formations around the coast of the island. Start with a visit to Ribeira Grande, one of the most picturesque towns of the Azores, followed by a surprising view of some amazingly beautiful cliffs on the North coast. Then travel to the inner areas of the island to see the gorgeous waterfall of Salto do Cabrito, surrounded by wild vegetation. Drive to the top of Fogo Volcano to enjoy views of the most pristine and magical of the crater lakes of São Miguel. From the top of the mountain, enjoy the stunning views over a large portion of the island.

Enjoy views from two completely different perspectives over the famous twin lakes.  End the day in Mosteiros, on the western coast of the island, where the lava rocks have formed enchanting small islets and natural pools.

This was truly an AMAZING tour courtesy of the best tour guide Gonçalo Santos! He was truly phenomenal since the start of pick up and really full of knowledge about the Azores and São Miguel! Every visit and stop of the tour was extremely educational, while also breathtaking for the views and experiences. I had a blast and met so many great people on the tour and highly recommend everyone to sign up! The full day tour was spaced out and planned very well and made it an enjoyable and memorable experience! Gonçalo is professional, knowledgeable, kind, comical, understanding, helpful, and one of the best tour guides I’ve met. Definitely sign up and you will not regret it!

We had a fantastic time exploring the west side of the island despite our bad luck with the weather. Our guide Marcio took us around the island with ease, explaining the history along the way. The included lunch was well thought out, and made the whole trip an even more enjoyable experience. We spent sufficient time at each view point without feeling rushed. Highly recommend. 💯
