Know more about your day trip
Vila Franca do Campo is about 12 miles (20 km) east of Ponta Delgada, and the drive takes roughly 20 to 25 minutes along the southern coast of Sao Miguel. The road hugs the shoreline and offers views of the ocean and the island's distinctive volcanic hillsides as you head toward the first stop of the day.
During the two-hour stop in Furnas, you can walk among the bubbling Caldeiras das Furnas fumaroles, where steam and sulfur-scented gases rise dramatically from the earth. You can also visit Terra Nostra Park, home to a famous iron-rich thermal pool surrounded by century-old botanical gardens, or try the outdoor terraced pools at Poca da Dona Beija.
Praia da Ribeira Quente is a volcanic sand beach where geothermal activity warms the shallow coastal waters, making swimming feel unusually comfortable even on cooler days. The beach sits at the foot of steep green hills and feels genuinely off the tourist trail, offering a peaceful and memorable end to the day before heading back to Ponta Delgada.
The Ilheu de Vila Franca do Campo is a small volcanic islet just off the coast that features a natural circular lagoon perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing. Access is by a short ferry ride of about 10 minutes, and visits are available during the warmer months (typically May to September). Visitor numbers are limited daily, so booking ahead is strongly recommended.
The town is famous for Queijadas da Vila, sweet pastry tarts made from a centuries-old convent recipe using egg yolks, fresh cheese, sugar, and cinnamon. They are soft, delicate, and unlike anything you will find elsewhere in Portugal. Pick up a box at a local bakery to enjoy on the spot or take home as a gift.
Povoacao is widely considered to be the first European settlement in the Azores, established in the early 15th century by Portuguese explorers. Its old town retains a quiet, authentic character with cobblestone streets, a well-kept municipal garden, and local cafes serving traditional Azorean food. It offers a real contrast to the busier attractions elsewhere on the island.
The round trip takes about eight and a half hours in total. The three stops are well spaced and cover different types of experience - coastal history, geothermal wonders, and a volcanic beach - so the day feels varied rather than exhausting. Comfortable footwear is recommended, as all three locations involve some walking on uneven surfaces.
The historic center offers a compact and charming collection of cobblestoned streets, ornate churches, flower-filled plazas, and buildings decorated with traditional Azorean tile facades. Nossa Senhora da Paz Chapel, perched on a hilltop above town, rewards the climb up its zigzagging white staircase with panoramic views of the coast and the volcanic islet below.
Furnas is famous for its geothermal activity, featuring bubbling hot springs, fumaroles, and mud pots throughout the village. During your 2-hour visit, experience Terra Nostra botanical garden with its thermal pool, witness cozido stew being cooked underground, and explore the volcanic lake.
Vila Franca do Campo, Sao Miguel's former capital, offers historic charm with its churches, marina, and views of Ilheu de Vila Franca. During your 3-hour visit, explore the town center, try local queijadas pastries, and if interested, arrange a boat trip to the nearby islet nature reserve.
Povoacao, the island's oldest settlement, features a charming town center with historical significance. Your 1-hour visit includes exploring its pentagonal square, coastal views, and understanding its importance as the first European settlement in the Azores.
The tour doesn't include meals, but your guide can arrange for you to try the famous Cozido das Furnas, a meat and vegetable stew cooked underground using volcanic heat. You can witness the pots being retrieved from the cooking grounds and enjoy this unique dish at local restaurants.
Pack swimwear and towel for Terra Nostra's thermal pool (note: the iron-rich water stains light fabrics), comfortable walking shoes, layers for changing weather, camera, water, and sun protection. Bring euros for entrance fees, meals, and souvenirs.
Yes, during the Furnas portion of the tour, you can visit Terra Nostra Park's large thermal pool or Poca da Dona Beija's multiple pools (entrance fees apply). Your guide can adjust the schedule to allow approximately 30-45 minutes for this unique bathing experience.
This tour offers a perfect blend of cultural history and volcanic phenomena. Unlike western island tours focusing on landscapes, this eastern route showcases how Azorean culture developed around volcanic activity, from traditional cooking methods to historical settlements.
Parts of this tour are accessible, but some areas in Furnas and Povoacao involve uneven terrain. The main attractions can be viewed with minimal walking, but full exploration requires navigating steps and paths. Contact Daytrip in advance to discuss specific accessibility requirements.
