“My husband and I chose this tour as one of our honeymoon activities and we were not disappointed! This tour was the perfect combination of sight seeing some of the local spots both to and from the dinner and hot springs. Our guide was extremely informative and friendly, happy to answer any and all questions! We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour! Now on to bed with lots of new knowledge of the island, full bellies, and relaxed muscles :)”

The air-conditioned minivan holds no more than eight people, with pickup included. Bring a swimsuit and towel, and note that bath admission and lockers cost extra.
“Paolo was excellent tour guide. He explained Furnas thermal pools and Natural calderas. He also explained the azore culture and islands and the local food we are at dinner. The thermal pools at Furnas were filled with sexy people at nighttime. Recommend this nighttime experience”
