All West, Sete Cidades, Mosteiros, Ferraria - Private Tour
The West of the island is one of the most, if not the most, impressive parts. You really don't want to miss all the sites around here or rush through them. The West is worth a full day of exploring on its own. The best spots for views of the caldera and lakes are off the main road, and finding them is not easy. This experience includes them all, and you are only able to do this in a half day with the help of a local driving you. You will see Sete Cidades Blue and Green lakes, from up and down the mountain, and also the best views for Santiago and Canário lakes, as well as the epic Grota do Inferno viewpoint. We will follow to the darkest sand beach in the island, and dazzling natural pools, in Mosteiros. If its Summer time you can have a refreshing swim on the clear waters or save it for the open sea hot springs, heated by the breath of the volcano during low tide, at Ferraria.

Sete Cidades & Mosteiros: West Coast São Miguel (Lunch Incl.)
As a local, I’ve driven the road up to Sete Cidades hundreds of times and it still amazes me. The moment the caldera opens up, you see the largest lagoon in the Azores, also known as the green and blue or twin lakes, the village just there, the whole scene cupped inside a dormant volcano… nobody in the van says a word, just stares and gasps. That moment is why I built this Sete Cidades tour at São Miguel. Our West Coast Tour goes where most tourists reach and never reach, stop at four viewpoints including Vista do Rei, where the abandoned hotel, Monte Palace Hotel, stands above the green and blue lagoons, Boca do Inferno atop the volcano’s rim among others. Descend into the caldera for a local Azorean lunch, where the locals go, and a walk around the blue lagoon after, to let all that food go down smoothly. Small group, no rush, your own rhythm. Discover the many Lagoons of Sete Cidades. Reach high viewpoints atop volcanic walls.

Ponta Delgada tour FAQs

Common questions about booking Ponta Delgada experiences through SimilarTours

When's the best time to visit Ponta Delgada and São Miguel?

May through September offers the warmest, driest weather and peak booking season - tours fill quickly then. Winter (November-March) brings cooler temperatures and more rain, but fewer crowds and lower prices. The island's green landscapes actually shine year-round, so timing depends on whether you prefer comfort or solitude.

How far ahead should I book these tours?

Peak season tours (especially private 4WD excursions to Sete Cidades and Furnas) can book 2-4 weeks out. Off-season, you'll have more flexibility booking a week or two ahead. Since most popular offerings are private or small-group, don't assume last-minute availability in summer.

Are private guided tours really necessary here?

Yes - the island's best spots require either a car and confidence navigating volcanic terrain, or a guide who knows the thermal pools, crater viewpoints, and local shortcuts. Most travelers opt for private tours because public transport is limited and self-driving the narrow roads around Lagoa do Fogo takes skill. A guide turns a scenic drive into something coherent.

What's included in a typical full-day tour?

Full-day private tours usually cover transportation, a guide, and stops at 3-5 major sites like Sete Cidades viewpoints and Lagoa do Fogo. Many include lunch - some advertised as '3-course meals' at restaurants. Always check before you go, as inclusions vary between operators.

Can families with young kids or less mobile travelers do these tours?

Plenty of tours suit families - private mini vans and small-group options work well with children. Some crater viewpoints and hot spring sites require short walks, but not technical hikes. Confirm accessibility and walking distances with your operator before booking, especially for anyone with mobility concerns.

What if I'm arriving on a cruise ship?

Cruise shore tours are available, usually structured as quick 'São Miguel essentials' experiences timed to your ship's schedule. These are more rushed than multi-day island tours, so they work best if you've already seen the major sights or plan to return.

Do I need an international driving permit to rent a car?

Portugal accepts most foreign driver's licenses, but check your home country's specific requirements and your rental company's policy. Even with a license, the island's volcanic roads and narrow coastal stretches are challenging - many travelers prefer hiring a driver instead.
