Great tour!

There is a bathroom break half way through, you may want to consider a mask because the dust and fumes can be strong, bring warm clothes.

Nice snorkel excursion

Enjoyable excursion to start the day - when you arrive get into wetsuit & hop on a 6 seater boat to the snorkel site. You jump off the side & stay in one area which was good - several varieties of fish in nice clear water. You are not really guided per se so expect to explore on your own but felt safe as the guide kept us together & answered any questions we had. The water was pretty cold so an hour for the experience was just perfect. The tour ended with a ride around the island.

Private tour in Sao Miguel

Amazing time touring the island with Joao. He was very knowledgeable and personable and spoke excellent english. He adjusted the tour to meet our preferences and we saw all the highlights and a few hidden gems. I would recommend this tour for anyone looking for a personalized experience with a great guide.

Chasing Waterfalls in the Azores: Nature Tour

Bridget424, Jul 2026

Highlight of our Vacation

We had a wonderful tour with Manuel. We saw about six waterfalls. We were a family of six people between the ages of 24 and 70, and everybody was able to do the hikes. We traveled in a very comfortable van in between hikes. Some of the hikes were harder than others, but all were doable. The scenery was stunning, stupendous, amazing!!! We went swimming at the last waterfall, which was a real treat. Food was provided, and Manuel was great about orienting us to the area, giving us information and making sure we all had enough water and restroom stops. All in all this was a highlight of our trip to the Azores!

A magnificent experience for a whole day.

Our guide João provided us with a wonderful time during this day in the western part of the island of Sao Miguel. He adapted to our needs and requests, showed us the main highlights of this section of the island, and made excellent recommendations for restaurants during our stay. I highly recommend this guide and this tour. We were a group of 8 people and everyone loved it!

Excellent choice for a tour of Sao Miguel!

Full day tour of the west of Sao Miguel was outstanding. Even with the weather starting out cloudy and a bit stormy at the elevation to view the volcanic lakes, Joao found us all the spots to see some amazing scenery. He accommodated our group of 9 wonderfully with two very comfortable vehicles. He and the other driver (also Joao) had so much information about the island, plants, wildlife and history. They were so willing to answer our many questions, which is such a benefit of a small tour like this. We chose the lunch included option and ate at a lovely little restaurant in the town of Lagoa. We loved visiting the beach at Ribeira Grande and seeing the black sand and big waves. We felt like this was excellent value for money. Thank you to the two Joaos!

Spectacular Private Tour!

We were lucky enough to be introduced to Sarah of Harmony Trails when we arrived for a weekend in The Azores. Not only is she incredibly kind, her knowledge of and pride in her island home is remarkable! We booked her for 2 full days and we are still remarking about how great it was! If you’re looking for a private tour in The Azores, Harmony Trails will not disappoint!

San Miguel : Vulcanic Experience in Furnas (W/ thermal pools)

Sharon_C, Apr 2026

Must Book

From beginning to the end, our guide Andreas was amazing !! Andreas was polite, helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and funny ! All the things you’d want in a guide. While I don’t think this is every time but we benefited from a private tour! Andreas walked us through the tea factory/plantation, recommended a wonderful blended tea and happily offered to take instagram worthy photos of myself and my family ! We visited several breathtaking panoramic sightseeing locations where we learned more about San Miguel, followed by an incredible experience at the thermal spa, which surpassed all my expectations. We left feeling relaxed and inspired by the beauty of the island and all of its many offerings !! Andreas continued the tour to several other beautiful stops where we learned about the hot springs, sampled natural sparkling waters and learned about history and saw an amazing gothic church on the edge of a beautiful lake ! The cap off the tour, he receded a wonderful restaurant close to the port where we had a delicious lunch (A Tasca). Thanks for helping us have such a memorable and enjoyable visit to your absolutely stunning island !! 10/10 recommend!
