Itinerary

About this tour, from the operator

This is definitely the best way to see as much as possible of São Miguel in a day. The way to go on your short stay, or if you want a throughout introduction to the island before exploring it on your own.

Bathing on hot springs or stopping for lunch is possible although expenses are not included. Please note these activities take about 1h30 of the itinerary, you might have to take shorter time or skip other locations.
