51 tours in São Miguel, from €28 to €150 per person, average rating 4.9 based on 11819 reviews.
São Miguel is the kind of island where a guide saves you a lot of driving in circles. The good stuff sits far apart: the twin lakes at Sete Cidades, the steaming valley of Furnas where they cook stew in the ground, and the tea fields between. Roads are narrow and the weather flips fast, so booking tours in São Miguel means someone else watches the clouds while you take it in.
For a first trip we'd start with a full-day sightseeing loop, a driver-guide and hotel pickup stringing the crater lakes, viewpoints and Furnas hot springs into one day. Whale and dolphin boat tours run from Ponta Delgada and are worth a half-day. After that, look at walking trails around the calderas, a swim at warm Caldeira Velha, and small-group or private São Miguel excursions for a slower pace. Shore excursions are easy off a ship.
