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.
