Visit the village of Mosteiros and have the option to swim in natural thermal pools near the Ferraria coast on this informative tour.

Admire Sao Miguel's natural beauty on a hop-on hop-off bus tour from Ponta Delgada. Absorb the mountain landscapes as you head to the Sete Cidades (Seven Cities lagoons) and back. Hop on and off at four stops on the 110-minute loop to follow walking trails and see attractions like the Lagoa do Canario (Canary Lake). Or stay aboard to experience the scenery, including the Sete Cidades lakes, from the Vista do Rei viewpoint.

Hike through some of Sao Miguel Island's most beautiful scenery, and get up close and personal with the sights, when you embark on a full-day walking tour.

Over the course of your roughly 4.5-mile (7-kilometer) hike, you'll ascend to the Vista do Rei viewing point, will discover the region's beautiful lakes, will admire panoramic views stretching across the island, and more.

Discover the west side of Sao Miguel island with ease on a full-day tour from Ponta Delgada. A great way for first-time visitors to orient themselves, this tour covers Lake Fogo, Caldeira Velha, the town of Ribeira Grande, and Setes Cidades, home to the vivid Lago Azul and Lago Verde. Enjoy a traditional Portuguese lunch and hotel pickup and drop-off on this small-group tour, limited to eight people.

The unspoiled natural attractions of Sete Cidades, Furnas and Lagoa do Fogo boast some of the prettiest natural scenery in the Azores, but reaching the remote sites without local knowledge is a challenge.
