Out of the beaten track
Jeep Tour Sete Cidades & Lakes – Full day
Sao Miguel islandIn a full package that brings together energy, bliss, and fun, we activate the adrenaline thanks to this jeep tour. The activity combines a route through dirt tracks with the sense of freedom possible in bike rides and, also, with the adorable laziness of a kayak experience in the lagoon.
From the transcendent heights we will descend towards the small town with its gracious peninsula spread along the water and, then, will set to explore the fantastic scenery that surrounds it.
The multi-colored soil and slopes; the clearings opened for walks at the sound of the running water and of the vibrating breeze; the flickering reflections of the sky and of the banks; the silent calmness of a place where the pure air covers the valley…

Rainbow lakes
When it is sunny, it is possible to see the great variety of colors between all the lakes in Sete Cidades volcanic complex.

Touch and feel
With this tour, you will not only sit in a Jeep and look at landscapes by the window. We offer you to do some bike and kayak at Sete Cidades.

Azorean traffic
The jeep is slowing down? Yes, in the Azores, we also have traffic… We are not talking about cars, but COWS!

Nigel, UKThank you so much Futurismo for making our wonderful holiday so very very special. Thomas our tour guide was second to none with his knowledge and service. The whale watching tour was absolutely brilliant and we were lucky enough to see four different species of dolphins and watch sperm whales diving for a giant squid.
The boat crews were professional and extremely knowledgeable about all of the creatures (Thank you Victor). Kayaking, mountain biking, and off-road jeep safaris all included by Futurismo and each and every activity was second to none. I strongly recommend Futurismo every time.
Vicckiy1, SpainI really love this company because they care and treat the dolphins with the utmost respect.
