Overview of your Ponta Delgada tour

Drive along paths accessible only by 4x4 to access the most exclusive, unique, and breathtaking views of São Miguel Island, accompanied by a certified local guide. Departing from Ponta Delgada, we head toward the Sete Cidades volcano, where we will make several stops, including at Pico do Carvão, where we can see the sea at the northern and southern tips of the island. Next, we will pass by an aqueduct dating back to the 19th century, allowing us to admire its magnificent construction. After that, we begin our adventure on a dirt road surrounding the top of the caldera, reaching an altitude of 856 meters. Here, you can enjoy the beauty of the Sete Cidades volcanic caldera and visit the parish between them.

Fantastic day with Filipe during our cruise port day in the Azores. Communication was excellent. We conveniently met just outside the cruise terminal. Everything was as planned. Filipe worked around our schedule. Beautiful day at Sete Cidades. Made sure we had time at all the beautiful views. Convenient stop to get a coffee and local favorite dessert. Dropped us off at a market and cafe next to the port as we requested.

Filipe is a fantastic guide. His driving tour was awesome we saw so much it was incredible. Soa Miguel is a wet and sometimes cloudy Island but Filipe managed regardless of difficult weather condition to get us wonderful views at times. He also was kind enough to share a local lunch spot he enjoyed that was tremendous. We never would have found it if not for him. When we return we hope he is available to show us around for another tour. I would not hesitate to recommend Filipe to anyone looking to see this island. Thank you for the wonderful day Filipe.

Felipe is a delight - knowledgeable and very responsive to his clients. We loved our Jeep tour with him. We highly recommend it - it was a fabulous way to embrace the higher elevations and vistas of San Miguel.

An amazing tour that was fun and educational. Great communication as well during the whole process. I would 100% recommend Francisco and Felipe when wanting to tour the island. Francisco was the best guide and entertained me and my 90 year old parents and made their experience truly special.
