São Miguel Island Tours

14 tours · €50–€170 per person · ★ 4.9

São Miguel is the island most people come to the Azores for, and a guided tour is the simplest way to cover ground when you've only got a day or two. Booking a São Miguel tour sorts the driving, the timing and the best stops, so you spend the day at the viewpoints instead of wrestling with a map.

When you compare São Miguel tours, look at the route. We'd want Sete Cidades and its twin lakes on the list, plus the geothermal valley at Furnas - the steaming springs and a soak in the thermal baths are worth saying yes to. Out on the water, a glass-bottom boat trip with snorkeling is a fun half-day if the weather plays along. Want a relaxed pace and local tips? A private driver-guide lets you linger; small-group tours keep the cost sensible.

14 São Miguel tours from €50. Private and small-group trips across the island, hotel pickup and free cancellation on most - easy to book online.
