Full description

Meet your driver at your accommodation in Angra do Heroísmo, Praia da Vitoria, or Lajes, and start your half-day tour in an air-conditioned minivan. Explore Algar do Carvão, an empty volcano and its caves with remarkable unique mineralogical characteristics. The 90-meter-deep volcanic chimney formed approximately 3,200 years ago after the magma drained from the main chimney receding to the magma chamber. Next up is Furnas do Enxofre. Walk around a fumaroles field and see sulfur gas coming out from the ground. Contemplate the beautiful natural swimming pool at Biscoitos, surrounded by black lava and with a few colorful fishing boats anchored alongside. Stop for a photo opportunity in Miradouro do Raminho and see 3 islands. Finish a wonderful day with a handmade delicious cheese tasting.

Very nice time with Rafa. We got to see quite a lot of the island and super nice places in just a few hours. She was giving interesting info and explanations and was very friendly and personal. There needs to be a little bit more connection with the clients for the pick up - I had to do it through whatsapp since the website didn't work + on arrival no one called me since my contact info was not delivered to the guide.

I completely forgot I booked this tour ( very unlike me). I recieved a call from tour reminding me and letting me know we had to do it or lose the money in a very nice way. We raced back to Our hotel to meet the nicest guide, Elizabeth. She was understanding and made sure we hit the highlights: The volcanic cave, the beautiful natural pools at the ocean and our cheese tasting. Elizabeth was knowledgeable and patient. She made us so comfortable she felt like an old friend. I can not describe adequately how beautiful the volcanic cave is. You have to see it to believe it! It is truly Nature's masterpiece! Do not miss it! If you take this tour request Elizabeth! She is also a Terceira gem! Thank you to Getyourguide for accommodating us.
