Cruise Travellers: Furnas Volcano Wonders & Thermal Pool

Overview

Embark in our 5 to 6 hours shore excursion tour to Furnas & Hot springs from Ponta Delgada Cruise Terminal. As you step off your cruise ship, you’ll be greeted by our friendly and knowledgeable local storyteller from inside the cruise terminal hall holding a sign with “iGoAzores Touren & Ausflüge” on it. From the moment you arrive, prepare to be enchanted by São Miguel’s natural beauty.

Begin your journey with a tea tasting at Gorreana Tea Factory, the last 100% natural tea plantations in the world. Hit the road to where the island exhales—Furnas, a massive sleeping volcano where hot springs gurgle and mud boils beneath your feet. It’s a place that smells like sulfur and legends. From thermal waters to botanical dreams, every step is alive. Then relax visiting Terra Nostra Botanical Garden & Thermal pool, appreciated for its beautiful garden and the iconic thermal pool—vast, ochre-colored, and naturally heated to a delicious 38–40°C. Rich in iron and minerals, this golden bath leaves your body relaxed, your skin glowing, and your imagination permanently altered.

As the tour draws to a close, we’ll ensure you get back to your cruise ship in time, with your heart filled with memories of São Miguel’s incredible natural beauty.
