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.

After a tasty meal to restore your energy levels, head to Sete Cidades, to understand why this is considered by the postcard of the Azores. 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.

My husband and I did both the Sao Miguel West and Sao Miguel East van tour on consecutive days with our super-fun guide Joao! He was a superb guide, knew the island like the back of his hand, and had an encyclopedic knowledge of the geography, flora and fauna, and history of The Azores. He's also a great photographer, so you can leave the selfie stick at home. :-) We got so lucky with the weather on both our tours, but I feel we got even luckier to have Joao as our guide both times. Great tours -- highly recommended!

The tour & the tourguide (I think his name was Hugo) was absolutely fantastic! Big recommendation! We saw beautiful views and the guide explains a lot, answers any question and responds to wishes. There’s a buffet and it’s also suitable for vegetarians.

I had good luck to have the same tour guide João Costa. He is very knowledgeable about his island and you can tell that he enjoys his job. He is very attentive to our needs especially with my sister who has some mobility issues. Thank you very much much João. Darlene
