About this tour

The Furnas volcano and Nordeste are two of São Miguel’s East highlights. Furnas volcano is even considered the island’s tourism capital and if you want to experience the vigor of nature, this excursion to the East side of the island is the ideal way to do it. Furnas is home to a series of hot springs, boiling water calderas, bubbling mud calderas and fumaroles created by the dormant volcano beneath the ground.

The thermal pools you’ll find here have always been an attraction for all kinds of travelers who take the opportunity to visit one of Portugal’s most beautiful botanical gardens and relax in the thermal waters naturally heated by the volcano. At the start of the tour, we’ll ask you if you’d like to optionally include a stop at this place. Entrance fees are not included and can be purchased on place (€16 per person).

In Nordeste, you’ll be surrounded by green mountains and cliffs, with a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean. This is the only habitat in the world for the Priolo, a bird endemic to São Miguel. With a knowledgeable guide, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about the region’s unique geology and history, as well as explore its natural beauty.

The last surprise we have planned for you is a stop at Gorreana tea facility, the last 100% natural plantation in the world, where you can taste tea and visit the plantation.

Exceeded all expectations

I'm going to say that as independent travelers we rarely take tours, but the weather wasn't good, we didn't want to rent a car and we only had a few days before leaving the island. The weather improved and we booked this tour at the last minute. Best decision ever. There's no way we could have made the effort to see all these places without exploding in a week, let alone a day. We were met at our agreed meeting point at the agreed time and after that we were entirely in the hands of our guide, which made for a totally stress-free day. The mini van was modern, air-conditioned and the maximum group size is 8 people. We had a lovely mix of people, but there was also plenty of opportunity to spend time away from the group if you wanted to. Our guide/driver was a lovely young man who clearly knew his stuff, gave us choices along the way and never rushed us. We've been to San Miguel before and this was our third visit. This tour took us to places we'd never seen before and each stop was impressive and extremely interesting with someone who could explain and point out what and why. Lunch at Furnas was something I wanted to try and we weren't disappointed. The walk through the various boilers and drinking spouts was incredible and a unique experience. The waterfalls and the surrounding park were amazing and a walk in the Terra Nostra Park, followed by a dip in the hot pool, which was the most beautiful.
