Be prepared for most typical Azorean experience. Two in one, typical food & thermal pools. One of the great experience on the island is the thermal pools, you don't want to miss them. At night is when the place is more quiet, the air temperature is more adequate and the atmosphere is magical. I want to take you to the one most iconing thermal pools from the island, Poça da Beija. This experience will start in the end of the day until around midnight, be prepared for the best evening of your trip. So far seems good, there is more, before the thermal pools we will visit where locals cook the famous "cozido"(stew) using the heat from the volcano and this is what you gonna get for your dinner. On the top of all that you can have a cup of local tea made in one of the natural hot springs before we return home, all this surounded with a mysterious atmosphere created with the steam coming from the boilers of valley of Furnas. For better understanding you have to come... Starting from Ponta Delgada at 18h00-18:30 pm. Pick up at any place situated inside the city of Ponta Delgada. Bring towels and swimsuit for the Hot Springs baths. Recommend camera or video camera – the photo oppo Other things to note For go in this experience the weather makes no difference, just imagine be in 40 cº water having only your head out ;) Just bring comfortable clothes, swimming suit and towel.

Sete Cidades lake is the largest natural freshwater reservoir of surface water in the Azores, being considered one of the 7 wonders of Portugal. Enjoy a kayak trip and let yourself be enchanted by the fauna and flora of this natural wonder.

The West of the island is one of the most impressive parts of it. You really don´t want to miss all the sites around here or rush trough them. The West is worth a full day of exploring on its own. The best spots for views of the caldera and lakes are off the main road, and finding them is not easy. This experience includes them all, and you are only able to do this in a day with the help of a local. Plus this is a private experience, so you can take as long as you like in your favorite places. We will see Sete Cidades lakes, from down and up the mountain, and learn the secret behind its different colors. We will also be at the best views for Santiago, Canário and Empadadas lakes, as well as the epic Grota do Inferno. We will follow to the darkest sand beach in the island, and dazzling natural pools, in Mosteiros. If its Summer time you can have a refreshing swim on the clear waters or save it for the open sea thermal pool, heated by the breath of the volcano during low tide, at Ferraria. This experience takes about 5-6h. This is a Private experience, only you or your group coming. My regular transportation is a 4 people vehicle, so there is a maximum of 3 participants to ensure comfort. I can rent a van for bigger groups please message me if it´s of your interest. If this experience is not available on your chosen date, please ask I´ll open for your preferred date.
