Travel from Ponta Delgada to São Miguel’s Furnas volcanic zone in about four to five hours.

Guides such as Pedro, Raphael, Vera, and Andrea tailor the pace when time allows.

“Vera was a great guide, informative, friendly. The thermal bath visit was a little rushed. I didn't really get enough time to justify the admission fee. She took different routes from and back to the port so we got to see more of this beautiful island.”
