Explore São Miguel: Sete Cidades & Lagoa do Fogo Full-Day Tour

Discover the magic of São Miguel Island on an unforgettable journey that combines the two most iconic volcanoes in the Azores. If you are looking for the best things to do in Ponta Delgada, this comprehensive itinerary offers breathtaking landscapes, relaxation in thermal waters, and the very best of local gastronomy.

The Adventure Begins in Ponta Delgada

Our meeting point is at our activity center, conveniently located at the Ponta Delgada Harbor (Portas do Mar). For your comfort, we also offer a transfer service so your only concern is enjoying the ride. Our first destination? The mystical Sete Cidades caldera.

Sete Cidades: Legends and Twin Lakes

This is a unique sightseeing tour designed for those who want to experience the island's landscape variety without the 11-kilometer hike. Aboard our Jeep, we will drive through stunning scenery where you can witness the famous contrast between the Green Lake and the Blue Lake.

During our stop at Sete Cidades, you will have the opportunity to:

Touch the crystal-clear waters of the lakes.
Learn about the mystical legend behind the Twin Lakes.
Visit the charming St. Nicholas Church (São Nicolau).
Enjoy the panoramic views from the world-famous Vista do Rei viewpoint.

Regional Lunch and Azorean Flavors

No São Miguel tour is complete without local gastronomy. We will pause for lunch at a traditional restaurant, where you can savor fresh, authentic ingredients from the region before heading to the second part of our adventure.

The Wild Nature of Lagoa do Fogo

In the afternoon, we ascend to the top of the volcano to explore the Lagoa do Fogo Nature Reserve. Considered one of the most pristine and popular areas on the island, it offers incredible views of both the north and south coasts from Pico da Barrosa—the perfect spot for postcard-worthy photos.

Relaxation at Caldeira Velha and Salto do Cabrito

The adventure continues toward Caldeira Velha. This iron-rich waterfall acts as a natural outdoor "spa." Thanks to volcanic activity, the water averages 26°C, allowing for a relaxing soak in the middle of a lush forest that looks like a movie set.

To top it all off, we visit the impressive Salto do Cabrito waterfall. Standing about 50 meters tall, this hidden gem is a treasure of Azorean geology. You will also see the historic hydroelectric power station that harnesses the force of these pure waters.

Return to Ponta Delgada

After a day filled with emotion and unique natural scenery, we return to central Ponta Delgada. This Jeep tour is the perfect choice for those who want to experience the highlights of São Miguel with comfort and local expertise.
