Enjoy Furnas at night with steam-filled thermal baths, Cozido das Furnas dinner, and round-trip pickup from Ponta Delgada.
“If I could give our guide and this experience 10 STARS, I would! From the moment we were picked up, we all felt like we were with an old friend. Our guide was fabulous- personable, funny, very knowledgeable about the island and we learned alot about Azorean history and culture. We went all over Furnas, used the hot springs (OMG) we felt wonderful- the spa is very classy. The dinner was huge and very delicious. It was an excellent experience that I and my friends would do again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend”

“First say that our guide Bruno Leal, is a great person, led us very well along the trail and was very patient, warned at all times of dangerous areas, is a great guide. It's worth climbing, the night sky is impressive and shooting stars kept falling, and the sunrise from above is very nice, you have to keep in mind the following.

It…”

“I gifted this activity to my boyfriend on his birthday. What we enjoyed the most was swimming on the open sea and watching the sunset. We didn’t have the best weather as it was cloudy and we wished we could have seen some more marine life like dolphins. However, despite this, we had a great time and we learned a lot about sailling with the crew and took great photos during our trip”

This was towards the beginning of the trip, so despite the jet lag, Gabriel really made this an enjoyable adventure. Highly recommend this excursion with Gabriel.”

The boat was new, safe and well equipped. We were treated with Rose wine and traditional cinnamon biscuits which were delicious. We explored caves and the beautiful sea cliffs on the coast and experienced the most breathtaking sunset on our return. I highly recommend the Sunset Cruise. This was a top 5 experience on the island and the whole family agreed. A must do stop on your vacation. This is also a new business which is why there are few reviews. I…”
