FULL DAY TOUR AROUND THE ISLAND
The Green Island Tour
Get ready for a memorable day filled with stunning landscapes, lush nature and authentic experiences in the Azores. Starting at 8:30 am, you will be picked up from your hotel or accommodation on the island of São Miguel to embark on an adventure that reveals the most fascinating sites of the "Green Island".
The first stop will be at the Pico do Carvão Viewpoint, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the island from north to south and its reliefs – a perfect introduction to what awaits you. Then, at the iconic lookout of Vista do Rei, contemplate the immensity of the Twins lakes of Sete Cidades, one of the most emblematic postcards of the Azores.
Continue your immersion in the natural beauty with stops at the Cerrado das Freiras and Lagoa de Santiago viewpoints, before exploring the famous bridge and trail up close, including a light walk around the peninsula and tunnel.
In the heart of the parish of Sete Cidades, you will have time to relax, stroll, have a coffee and, if you wish, visit the charming Church of São Nicolau, in neo-Gothic style. The journey continues with coastal views from the Escalvado lookout, over the islets of Mosteiros, and a brief stop next to the natural pools of Capelas and São Vicente.
As you go up the mountain, be amazed by the viewpoints of the imposing Lagoa do Fogo and Pico da Barrosa, followed by an optional visit to the historic village of Vila Franca do Campo, with its old charm, picturesque port and view over the volcanic islet at Senhora da Paz.
The afternoon offers unique moments in Furnas, with its famous fumaroles and lake, and in Ribeira dos Caldeirões, let yourself be lulled by the sound of the waterfalls and the old mills.
We end in style with a stop at the legendary Gorreana tea plantation, where you can learn about the production process and taste the flavours of the only European tea, before the final stop at Santa Bárbara beach, in Ribeira Grande, with its black volcanic sands and stunning views over the Atlantic.
The return is scheduled between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm, with drop-off at the place of origin. A whole day, rich in unforgettable experiences and memories, waiting just for you.
