A half day in a four wheel drive with a certified nature guide along the north ridge of the Sete Cidades crater and down into the caldera, with hotel or port pickup and insurance included.

It runs in all weather, needs at least two people per booking and refunds if extreme weather cancels it. 4.98 from 51 reviews at €55 per person.
