5.Couples PRIVATE Hybrid 4X4 Tour – Furnas (Inc Hot Springs and 3 Course Lunch)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 16 reviews · 8 hours (approx.)

Spend eight hours with Andy exploring São Miguel’s volcanic Furnas Valley, bathing at Terra Nostra, eating a three-course cozido lunch cooked underground, and visiting Gorreana Tea Plantation and Santa Iria viewpoint. Private pickup is available from Ponta Delgada, nearby hotels, and cruise ships.

“One of the best coordinated and relaxing tours. Andy was great! This was a very nice, low key, personal tour experience. We were not in the mood for rushing and wanted to spend a nice private experience in Furnas. Andy knows everything about the villages and culture. He was engaging at the right level, knew how to get everywhere with ease and since he is British but has lived in Furnas for 9 years, knows the locals, can speak fluently in Portuguese. One of the best overall relaxing and interesting tours I’ve done. Oh and the food was amazing (and gluten free for my celiac Husband).”
