Amazing UTV Trip on Volcano Rim! - Amazing experience with majestic scenery as we traversed through the clouds. Truly unforgettable experience. We had an amazing tour guide and we stopped at a fantastic restaurant. Good thing the volcano didn't erupt...

Great way to explore Azores - We went as a family of 5. My husband drove a 4 person UTV and I drove a 2 person UTV. Helmets and goggles were provided. We had a guide leading our pack of other tourists - a total of 8 UTVs or so. We had a blast going up the mountains and seeing the volcano and lakes - we navigated roads, fog, gorgeous nature and more. It was beautiful and a forever memory

Great fun despite the weather! - Even though the weather did not cooperate as we experienced a lot of fog in Sete Cidades and some rain during the ride, our guide, Bruno, was able to turn the tour into a fun experience with the buggy! Even with the bad weather, it was a very good and fun experience. Thank you for your time, Bruno!

Great unique experience - I had been in the same place 2 years ago, but this time manage to see the landscapes from places where normally people cannot go, due the paths required. Also the guide is very friendly and provides very useful information. Lastly if you like adrenaline and rallying this is GREAT!

Best vacation tour in years - We have done a lot of tours in a lot of places. This one was the best. The trip was well run and our host focused on the group’s safety, so that we were able to enjoy a great 3-4 hour ride and fantastic views in places where we would have had to hike through rough terrain. Weather frequently changed, creating different views from one minute to the next. From above after traveling up a mud covered farm trail we saw Lagoa das Sete Cidades, twin blue and green crater lakes covered in mist and fog. Within a few seconds the clouds lifted showing the distinct colors and the small village below on the edge of the lakes. You will want to move there. After the trip we visited a nearby fishing village for off-the-boat fresh seafood. A delightful day trip and great tour company. If you travel to Sao Miguel and Ponta Delgada make sure to book this tour!

A really fun ride with Filipe up to the volcanic crater - If you're visiting Ponta Delgada on São Miguel Island in the Azores, there is only one trip you want to take: go with Filipe right from his place on the North Coast up to the Sete Cidades volcanic crater. Filipe is an amazing guide and was accommodating to our schedule. He showed us the sights of his beloved Ponto Delgada, taking us to the caldera, then for café com leite in the little village of Sete Cidades, then descending back down to the North Coast. The buggies were a blast to drive and had amazing climbing power. This was one of my favorite shore excursions ever! A little advice on getting to Filipe's place: Either call for a taxi, or else walk to the City Center and pick one up there. It should be about 15 euros. This part was not explained well beforehand. But it is about a 20-minute ride from Portas do Mar to the Filipe's residential base camp in the North Coast. Also, dress warmly! It is quite cool and windy at altitude.
