A perfectly tailored tour with the perfect guide
Our guide Sam made this hike one to remember. He brought a perfect blend of information and activity to the day, adding conversation and a personalized touch. I would highly recommend booking with Green Corner Tours for the best hiking experience on Sáo Miguel.

Great day!
We had a wonderful day with Samuel as our guide. The waterfall we hiked to was beautiful. We especially enjoyed the gardens and soaking in the hot springs to relax after at Terra Nostra!

Fantastic tour
This hike was absolutely incredible! The scenery was breathtaking from start to finish — lush vegetation and the beautiful Salto do Prego waterfall as the highlight. The trail through the old abandoned village of Sanguinho was also really interesting and added a unique touch to the experience. Our guide, Samuel, was fantastic — super knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. He shared great insights about the local nature, history, and culture, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the hike. Ending the day in Furnas was the perfect way to relax after the adventure — the hot springs were amazing! Overall, this tour is a must-do if you want to explore the natural beauty and charm of the island. Highly recommend, especially with Samuel as your guide!
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for the amazing review, best description of this tour Thank you so much!!. All the best Samuel Rego

Great day
Great hike into the falls. Samuel is very knowledgeable about the history and botany. The stop in Furnas was perfect with time to do our own lunch and flexibility to tour the town or take in the thermal bath and park.
Response from the operator: Hello Darcy, Thank you so much for your review. No rush, your here to enjoy. All the best Samuel Rego

Waterfall hike then hot spring reward.
Had a wonderful hike and tour with Samuel. He was such a knowledgeable and freindly guide. The hike was medium difficulty with the greatest degree of difficulty at the beginning. My wife seemed to suffer from a bit of allergies at the onset. Samuel was so patient and helped with giving stops while keeping the group informed and entertained during these small needed breaks. We really appreciated that. The waterfalls were absolutely breathtaking. The hike itself was a great trek and took about 2 hours in total. The trip to furnas was an absolute treat. The hot springs and garden were a perfect way to end off our tour. This tour is one of a few 'must do' tours to see so much of the beauty from crater to ocean vistas. Thank you Samuel!!
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you so much for you amazing review. Safety and well-being always first, and then you can enjoy our beautiful landscape. All the best Samuel Rego

Sanguinho hike, Salto do Prego Waterfall and Furnas hotsprings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ponta Delgada.
How much does Sanguinho hike, Salto do Prego Waterfall and Furnas hotsprings 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 Sanguinho hike, Salto do Prego Waterfall and Furnas hotsprings take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Sanguinho hike, Salto do Prego Waterfall and Furnas hotsprings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Sanguinho hike, Salto do Prego Waterfall and Furnas hotsprings?
+
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 Sanguinho hike, Salto do Prego Waterfall and Furnas hotsprings suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sanguinho hike, Salto do Prego Waterfall and Furnas hotsprings?
+
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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sanguinho hike, Salto do Prego Waterfall and Furnas hotsprings 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.

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?
+
