Delfim the guide is great. He is very friendly, funny, on-time, knows the area, plans a fun trip and makes sure everyone is ok and happy. We loved the time getting off the main roads and exploring the hard to get to places of the island. Beautiful views and exhilarating experiences. Thanks again to Alice and Delfim.

Words cannot express, how much we loved touring around Sao Miguel with Funtastic Azores. Both Paulo and Marco were amazing guides and did more than expected. Sao Miguel was truly fantastic and even better because of them. Thank you Paulo for organizing everything and I cannot recommend your company enough! Their tours are by far the best way to get to know Sao Miguel!

First the negative - don't do this if you have a serious fear of heights. And if it's cloudy enough that you can't see the peaks from below, don't even bother. Now the positive - however scary some of the trail looks as if it might be from below, it isn't as bad as you expect when you get up to the scary-looking bits. And if you can see the views at all they are wonderful, especially on a very clear day. The trail itself is a mix of different landscapes, first climbing through a mossy gully, then past a green bog full of noisy frogs, then up a bleakly beautiful grassy cone to a lookout point with views for miles, followed by another lookout point with views of a lake, then through heath and bracken, down to some woods around a different lakeside, then a climb up through more woods and lovely plants. It's free, and there is a car park and very clear signage. Take a photo of the map in the car park, you won't need it but it's interesting to look at to see where you are.

This tour is absolutely amazing! It was our first trip to the Azores and we felt like we were in Hawaii. We had no idea that this little island was so lush and tropical. Felipe was a great guide and provided a geological explanation of each site we visited. Absolutely fascinating. We will be sure to book another tour on our return trip.

I did find the service comfortable and it seems to go "everywhere" in Ponta Delgada... But despite the advert they do have only one trip per hour... but it is plenty as both ways I was alone in the bus...
