Adventure ride in Sete Cidades
Jeep Tour to Sete Cidades – Full day
Sao Miguel islandIn a guided experience through the features of a still unknown island, our jeeps and our guides will help to the construction of another perspective – the perspective of adventure, of intriguing moments, and of glowing instants.
Areas where the vegetation is almost untouchable; woods where specimens of the endemic flora emerge and alternate alongside with exotic species of the world. We will show you how to go through all of this green, in wide, open fields defined by walls of black, basaltic rock; how to jump over puddles and up the hills while the branches flee at our passage and the birds fly over lagoons and bogs.

From love, Nature was born
Be surprised by the old love legend associated with the formation of Lagoa das Sete Cidades, between the blue and green lakes. Our guides will tell you the story like no one else!

Mouthwatering local food included
Each island in the Azores has its regional delicacies. Try the delicious Azorean cuisine and let yourself be carried away by traditions!

Adventurer764501, PortugalA big THANK YOU to PAULO, a true professional in the field of tourism, who provided us with a spectacular day, with a lot of history and adventure on the Jeep tour through Lagoa do Fogo and Sete Cidades. For those who love nature, I highly recommend it !!!
A hug and … until next year! Matilde, Sónia and Pedro
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.
Jorgen Johansen, SwedenI enjoyed particularly the fact that we could visit São Miguel on the jeep tour and got a whole different idea from our last trip. Knowledgeable information is given by the guide about the island specially concerning Azorean history and traditions. Great service and wonderful friendly guides!
