The tour starts by boarding a small-group van in Ponta Delgada for a full-day exploration of western São Miguel. The first stop is Pico do Carvão, where travelers spend about 15 minutes taking in wide panoramic views of the island’s central area, including both north and south coasts and volcanic formations. The group then moves on to Lagoa do Canário, a quiet crater lake surrounded by dense vegetation, for a 10-minute visit. Next, participants walk approximately 20 minutes each way to reach the Boca do Inferno viewpoint. Here, they spend around an hour enjoying broad views over the Sete Cidades caldera and its twin lakes.

Lunch is served at a local restaurant and includes a traditional buffet with a main dish, drink, dessert, and coffee. In the afternoon, the route follows the west coast to Miradouro do Escalvado, where visitors spend about 20 minutes admiring coastal cliffs and Atlantic Ocean views. The tour proceeds to Mosteiros for a 20-minute walk along the coast to see lava rock pools and volcanic formations. A shorter 10-minute stop takes place at Miradouro das Pedras Negras (Viewpoint of Black Stones), featuring ocean views and volcanic coastline insights. The group then visits Ribeira Grande town center before continuing to Ponta da Cintrao for 20 minutes to view São Miguel’s notable coastal cliffs. The tour ends with a 20-minute visit to Lagoa do Fogo, a crater lake in the island’s central highlands surrounded by protected natural areas. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Ponta Delgada and Lagoa Town are included. Bottled water is not provided.
