Although the dive is over, now is the perfect time to explore São Miguel Island. A day trip that will rival the beauty and wonder of everything you saw underwater.
In Vila Franca do Campo, once the first capital of the Azores, you will visit the famous Queijadas da Vila factory. After tasting this renowned pastry, the tour continues to the Furnas Valley, along the shores of the romantic lagoon, where you will be surprised by the way "Cozido à Portuguesa" is cooked – in the ground.
After lunch, the group departs for the hot springs area, with its fumaroles and thermal and mineral springs, ascending to the Pico do Ferro viewpoint. There, you'll enjoy a stunning view of the crater surrounding the Furnas Valley. The tour continues along the north coast to the tea factory, the only tea plantation in Europe, where you can enjoy beautiful views of the tea plantation and the north coast while sipping a cup of tea. Returning to Ponta Delgada, a stop is made at the Santa Iria viewpoint, offering an idyllic panorama of the island's north coast.
