Amended, but still Amazing! - We learned the evening before the tour that our tour jeep was in the shop, so we agreed to take the van tour instead. Our guide Hugo (the tall one) picked us up at our hotel and, after stopping for a solo tourist from Belgium, we were off to explore the eastern end of São Miguel. It turns out that the van tour is an excellent option for tourists tired from hiking up and over some of the rugged terrain the island has to offer: you will still see some lovely settings and amazing natural features, but you will not need to walk very far to reach them. Hugo was a courteous and considerate driver and guide. In between stops he gave an animated series of talks regarding his island home. Around 13:15 we stopped for a delicious buffet and our little group toasted our good fortune for all that we had experienced. After lunch we continued on, visiting two beautiful waterfalls and finally a quick stop at the famous Santa Barbara surfer beach. Thanks, Hugo, for an amended trip, but still amazing!

Lemons out of Lemonade - When the weather was inauspicious our guide had to improvise. That’s what happened and one of the advantages of engaging a professional tour guide. Sure we got the 4X4 off roading in. Some of the scenic vistas were obfuscated. So dude found workarounds. 👍

Tour away from the cruise - We had a wonderful trip other than the meeting site per the viator map was not the same as true pickup which was at port terminal. Our guide was wonderful and shared the tour with a Portuguese couple so our guide had to do the work of two as he had to switch back and forth between languages. We saw the most spectacular and vivid foliage. Went to Sycamore lane, a reserve only for 4X4, a quiet garden on the coast, lunch and the waterfalls. Would definitely recommend to others looking for beautiful scenery away from the crowds.

Great experience! - This tout allowed to see the northeast side of the island in about 6.5 hours. For lunch we stopped at a wonderful buffet style restaurant. The food was fresh and tasty with a good amount of choice.

Good way to see a different part of the island. - Rodrigo was great! so knowledgable and kind. We got to see a part of the island we would otherwise have missed. Lots of driving and I would have liked to have spent more time wandering around in the villages a bit but as it was it took the whole day.
