Mariana’s Choice: Wild Islands Adventure

From 9 AM to 5 PM: Explore Flores from Crater Lakes to Coastal Cliffs

• Discover Flores in comfort on this full-day guided van tour through the island’s most iconic landscapes. Begin your day with the serene beauty of crater lakes — Lagoa Comprida, Lagoa Funda, and more — at their most photogenic hour. Take in sweeping views from Miradouro das Lagoas and Craveiro Lopes Viewpoint, then set off on a short scenic hike to the stunning Poço da Ribeira do Ferreiro (Alagoinha).
• Stop in Fajã Grande for a relaxed break, where you can enjoy a seaside stroll, natural pools, or a quick snack. Cap it all off with the dramatic Poço do Bacalhau waterfall and the island’s iconic Rocha dos Bordões basalt formation on the way back.

9 AM to 5 PM: Boat Trip to Corvo & Visit to the Caldeirão. Hotel pick-up and drop-off are not included.

Upon arrival in Corvo, enjoy complimentary transfers to Caldeirão, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience. (lunch in Corvo not included)

No visit to Flores would be complete without a journey to Corvo Island, renowned as Europe's most remote spot. This tiny island with less than 500 inhabitants, located about 17 miles northwest of Flores, boasts a unique charm and isolation that attracts adventurous travelers. Visitors can explore the quaint village of Vila do Corvo, known for its colorful houses and friendly locals.

The highlight of any trip to Corvo is experiencing its rugged natural beauty, including the dramatic Caldeirão crater, which offers breathtaking panoramic views of the island and the surrounding Atlantic Ocean. Corvo Island provides an unforgettable glimpse into Azorean culture and a sense of discovery in one of Europe's most remote and fascinating destinations.

Please note: During the winter months, sea conditions can affect boat operations. As a result, the boat trip from Flores may be cancelled for safety reasons if conditions are not suitable.

Welcome to São Miguel Island! Airport transfers are also included.

Suggestion for the day: Explore Downtown Ponta Delgada

It’s time to explore Ponta Delgada, the main city, that beckons not only with its charming streets and vibrant atmosphere but also with its status as the economic heart of the archipelago. Ponta Delgada evokes all the charms of Europe with cobbled streets, sidewalk cafes, and a thriving culinary scene. 

Don’t Miss:

• Stroll Through Ponta Delgada’s Cobblestone Streets: Start your São Miguel discovery with a stroll along Ponta Delgada's charming city streets. Admire the architecture, from historical buildings to colorful houses. Peek into local shops and soak in the atmosphere.
• Portas da Cidade: Standing proudly at the entrance to Ponta Delgada, the Portas da Cidade (City Gates) serves as a symbolic gateway to the city's rich history and vibrant culture.
• Matriz Church: Visit the impressive Matriz Church, a beautiful example of Azorean religious architecture right in the city center.
• Pineapple Paradise: Embark on a unique adventure to a nearby pineapple plantation. Learn about the island's pineapple production, witness these fascinating plants, and perhaps even enjoy a refreshing pineapple treat.

From 9 AM to 4:30 PM: Sanguinho & Furnas, A Trail Through Time and Nature

• This experience blends the wild beauty of São Miguel with a quiet sense of history. After a scenic stop at Salto do Cavalo, one of the island’s most dramatic viewpoints, we make our way to the valley of Faial da Terra — the starting point of a trail that feels like stepping back in time.
• As we walk, the path winds past dense forest and crumbling traces of the past, leading to Sanguinho, a once-abandoned village that seems to hide in the landscape. The reward? A peaceful pause at Salto do Prego, a waterfall that’s as inviting as it is impressive.
• To end the day, we head to Furnas, where volcanic heat fuels natural hot springs — the perfect place to soak, reflect, and recharge. (Entry not included)

From 9 AM to 5 PM: Sete Cidades & Lagoa do Fogo, São Miguel in Full Color

• This full-day experience takes you straight into the volcanic heart of São Miguel, weaving together its most iconic landscapes with quiet moments of discovery.
• The day begins among the postcard-perfect crater lakes of Sete Cidades, where blues and greens meet in the shadow of ancient calderas. From high up at Vista do Rei, the views stretch across the rim of the volcano to the rugged north coast — a breathtaking start to the journey.
• After a stop for a locally inspired lunch, the road leads inland to Lagoa do Fogo, a crater lake suspended in a landscape of raw, natural beauty. If you’d like to stop at Caldeira Velha for a walk or a soak in the thermal waters, just let us know when booking — we’ll make it happen.
• Along the way, expect scenic viewpoints like Pico do Carvão and Pico da Barrosa, plus a few insider stops: the pineapple greenhouses of Ananás dos Açores, the surf town of Ribeira Grande, and a string of viewpoints that will have you reaching for your camera again and again.
• This is São Miguel in full — wild, peaceful, and curated for travelers who want to feel the island, not just see it.
