This was such a full and fantastic experience!! We did the following: - coastal sightseeing - visited oldest/only active tea plantation in Europe, took tour and drank tea - saw Lagoa das Furnas (created by volcano) - saw food cooked underground from active volcano heat - ate said food - want to geysers from volcano and tasted different levels of Sulphur water - went to botanical gardens where we ate some flowers - visited old Cathedral - went to pineapple plantation where the pineapples tasted amazing Highly recommend this tour. It's a lot and you'll be exhausted but it's worth it.

Highly recommended
Amazing experience. Vasco is a great professional who taught us the most beautiful places on the island, we ate in good restaurants where they made an exquisite meal. He treated us like we were family, he told us very interesting stories of San Miguel. If we return to Azores, repeat with Big Blue Adventures for sure!!!

Wonderful tour with the best tour guide driver on the island!
The two of us went on an all day tour to Furnas on Monday July 21, 2025. This tour was made very special and delightful by our driver and expert Island tour guide Vasco. I have been on many tours all over the world. This was one of the best tours that I have been on because of Vasco's kindness, expert knowledge, and his attention to detail. If all of the tour guides are as wonderful as Vasco, I would highly recommend using BigBlue Adventures in Ponta Delgada Portugal. Thank you for a great day!

A must-see experience with a top notch tour guide!
This was our first excursion upon landing in Sao Miguel, and it did not disappoint! Our tour guide, Vasco Pimental, was well-educated on the island facts and willing to entertain and answer all our questions about the Azorean culture. The tour was a mix of interesting and unique sites and local food. We especially enjoyed our delicious Cozido lunch at Vale das Furnas. We were initially worried that a day-long tour would be too long, but the day flew by. We would highly recommend this tour and Vasco in particular. Furnas is a must-see for anyone traveling to Sao Miguel.

Furnas Full Day Tour | Full Day Furnas Tour (Min. 2 Persons): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ponta Delgada.
How much does Furnas Full Day Tour | Full Day Furnas Tour (Min. 2 Persons) cost?
+
Prices start at $86 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ponta Delgada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Furnas Full Day Tour | Full Day Furnas Tour (Min. 2 Persons) take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ponta Delgada is not rushed.
Is Furnas Full Day Tour | Full Day Furnas Tour (Min. 2 Persons) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ponta Delgada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Furnas Full Day Tour | Full Day Furnas Tour (Min. 2 Persons)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Furnas Full Day Tour | Full Day Furnas Tour (Min. 2 Persons) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Furnas Full Day Tour | Full Day Furnas Tour (Min. 2 Persons)?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ponta Delgada can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ponta Delgada and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Furnas Full Day Tour | Full Day Furnas Tour (Min. 2 Persons) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ponta Delgada within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ponta Delgada?
+
On Outty we rank every Ponta Delgada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sao Miguel West Van Tour Sete Cidades and Fogo Lake plus Lunch, Jeep Tour Full Day Sete Cidades & Lagoa do Fogo with lunch and drinks included., Off the Beaten Track Half Day Sete Cidades Jeep Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ponta Delgada?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ponta Delgada?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Furnas Full Day Tour | Full Day Furnas Tour (Min. 2 Persons)?
+
Included: Lunch; All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Entrance to the parks - Parque Terra Nostra or Dona Beija; Queijo da Vila Franca do Campo; and Entrance to Parque dos Cozidos in Lagoa das Furnas. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Furnas Full Day Tour | Full Day Furnas Tour (Min. 2 Persons) include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 29 listed pickup locations in and around Ponta Delgada. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Furnas Full Day Tour | Full Day Furnas Tour (Min. 2 Persons) offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Furnas Full Day Tour | Full Day Furnas Tour (Min. 2 Persons)?
+

What happens to Furnas Full Day Tour | Full Day Furnas Tour (Min. 2 Persons) if the weather is bad?
