Azores Day Tours: Island Loops & Excursions

43 tours · €44–€315 · ★ 4.9

In the Azores a day tour usually means one island at a time, and on Sao Miguel that is a full day well spent. You can drop into the twin crater lakes of Sete Cidades, watch lunch come out of the volcanic ground at Furnas, and soak in a steaming iron-rich pool, all between breakfast and dinner.

When you compare Azores day tours, start with where you are based. Sao Miguel splits into a west loop (Sete Cidades, Mosteiros) and an east loop (Furnas, Nordeste, Lagoa do Fogo); islands like Terceira and Pico have their own full-day circuits. 4x4 jeeps reach the crater rims and back roads vans cannot; small-group vans keep it social; private tours bend the route around what you actually want to see. Most include hotel pickup and a local guide who knows which miradouro will be clear when the next one is buried in cloud.

43 handpicked Azores day tours from EUR44. Island loops by jeep or minibus, small-group or private, with hotel pickup and free cancellation on most, quick to book online.

Planning a trip to Azores

Best time to visit

The Azores are best from May to September, with the warmest, driest weather and prime whale-watching season. The islands are green and changeable year-round, so pack layers whenever you go.

Getting there & around

Most travellers fly into João Paulo II Airport (PDL) on São Miguel, with inter-island flights and ferries connecting the rest. A hire car or guided tour is the practical way to reach the crater lakes, hot springs and coastal viewpoints.
