Overview

The island of São Miguel is beautiful everywhere and has a lot more to see besides the most popular, well-known attractions. This tour offers you the chance to explore more than the basic touristic places, in the company of a local expert!

Start the day with a short stop at a little-known geothermal field. Then go on the first short walk of the day, at the heart of the island, along a water channel, ending at a curious small dam surrounded by lush vegetation!

Next, check one of the best coastal spots of the island, full of interesting lava rock formations and caves.

Enjoy a buffet lunch in a local restaurant. Continue in the afternoon with a charming, little-known waterfall.

Next, enjoy a mesmerizing view from an old whale lookout at the top of high cliffs, overlooking the vivid blue ocean!

Visit one of the most charming fishing harbors of the island. Finish up with a short walk between a waterfall and the beach where it merges into the ocean!

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
