Great tour and guide - Joaquim, our guide, was awesome! Very knowledgeable about the island, personable and easy to talk to, and fun. Chasing waterfalls all day, walking in parks, and lunch together with the group was the highlight of our trip for sure. We'd highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Beautiful tour🌸 - We just had a wonderful all day adventure visiting the beautiful area surrounding Nordeste. Our personal tour guide Josef (Joe) was outstanding. He delivered so much information and stories of the area and of Sao Miguel. We had so many laughs and shared great memories. Thank you for giving us that personal touch and showing us so much. We thoroughly enjoyed the lovely home-cooked buffet lunch. We totally recommend this tour and especially Josef.

Fantastic full day trip - Very thorough and fun tour of the Nordeste side of Sao Miguel. Our guide, Hugo, was very kind and knowledgable. Getting to learn about the ecology and little towns were the highlights.

Beautiful view points - We were lucky to have Andre our tour guide a second day. We saw so many beautiful sights. Andre took us to many gorgeous view points to see all different parts of the island. We learned a lot of new information too. I would highly recommend this tour and tour company.

Unforgettable Day Exploring Nordeste - We had a wonderful day exploring the eastern side of São Miguel. Nordeste and the coastline are absolutely stunning, with viewpoints that just kept getting better at every stop. Though, beware as the road is long and serpentine, so do prepare for a bit of a ride, but it is totally worth it. Lunch was excellent, and it was great to see a vegetarian option available. The highlight of the sights was definitely the Cascata da Ribeira dos Caldeirões, with its beautiful waterfall and old mill, it was a really special place to end the trip. But what made the day truly unforgettable was our guide, José. He was engaging, knowledgeable, and such a great communicator. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a fantastic experience, we couldn’t have asked for better.

Best of Sao Miguel - Of the three full day tours of the island, this was hands down the best in terms of views. Goao, our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He shared the history of the island and stories of each and every stop on the tour. He offered to take photos at every stop and suggestions of restaurants for dinner.

Nice. - Very good tour, it is almost everything by viewpoints and enough car to take into account if you dizzy. We made the food in a buffet and well, it may be better, but still excursion recommended because the park is very nice
