The boat is smooth and comfortable, the food is delicious, the staff is professional and fun, and the views are breathtaking. Made it so easy to enjoy the day because you don't have to worry about a thing, they take care of it all down to the hotel transfer, the national park fees, kayak part, etc. Book this trip!”

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

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

Andy guides a private eight-hour Furnas tour from Ponta Delgada, with hotel or cruise-port pickup, a lakeside walk, Terra Nostra hot spring, volcanic cozido lunch, Gorreana tea, and Santa Iria views. Bring swimwear, towels, sandals, and water.

“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).”
