Discover the very best of São Miguel Island in just two unforgettable days. This complete tour covers all four main regions — Sete Cidades, Lagoa do Fogo, Furnas, and Nordeste — offering a perfect balance between sightseeing, nature, and culture.
Unlike short day trips, this experience allows you to explore each place at a relaxed pace with plenty of time for photos and authentic local experiences.
Led by a certified local guide, you’ll uncover hidden viewpoints, volcanic wonders, and charming Azorean villages.
Travel in comfort in a small group (maximum 8 people) with hotel pickup and drop-off included, ensuring a personal and flexible experience.
When booking, please note this is a 2-day tour. The system allows you to select only one date, but the second day will automatically be scheduled for the following day — for example, if you book for May 8, your tour runs on May 8 and 9.
Perfect for travelers who want to truly experience the real Azores — beyond the postcard views.

Awesome 2day island tour with Pedro

5.00Pedro was an amazing tour guide & so knowledgeable on the island. It was awesome to travel with just a small group & he could adapt the tour for the weather conditions & to make sure we saw as much as possible on the days, based on the conditions. The tour sites were a wonderful mix of the island's highlights & the lakes were amazing. Seeing the food being brought up out of the pots in the ground was fantastic, before our lunch. I would definitely recommend this company to travel with, & Pedro as your guide! :)
Opt for the 2-day tour. Very interesting.

5.00We had an amazing experience exploring the island with Pedro as our guide. He is extremely careful, patient, and kind, always taking the time to explain the history and culture with such passion and detail. What really stood out were all the extra stops he included that weren’t even part of the tour, it truly felt like discovering the island through the eyes of a local. If you want to experience São Miguel properly, I highly recommend doing the full 2-day tour. It gives you the chance to see the island in all its beauty, without feeling rushed. We would recommend this tour to absolutely anyone visiting the Azores!
Carlos was fantastic! He...

5.00We had such an amazing time on our tour! We were able to be picked up directly from our accommodations in Vila Franca. Carlos brought his wealth of knowledge of the island to ensure we had a great time. It always seemed like we were the first ones to arrive at all of the viewpoints to avoid the crowds that came after us. The two day tour is great, you get to see all of the major sites on the island. And when the weather didn't cooperate, Carlos made the day sunny with his personality. I definitely would recommend these tours!
Repeat. I recommend!

5.00A great tour, the best way to see the whole island. We had a small group with our tour guide Henrique. It was a real adventure with different degustations (tea, water, liquours, cookies, local food), swimming in a natural pool, swimming in a thermal baths, waterfalls, volcanos, lakes and many more. Thanks for a great experience!
