Vila Franca do Campo

Sinta-se à vontade para explorar no seu próprio ritmo e descobrir

Parada: 3 horas - entrada não incluída

Dramatic volcanic scenes and a serene swimming lagoon await visitors of Vila Franca do Campo. Your experienced local guide will lead you to Ilheu de Vila Franca, a volcanic islet that features a protected marine reserve and a stunning natural circular swimming lagoon. A seasonal ferry takes travelers here with a smooth 10-minute boat ride. From there, you can head to Nossa Senhora da Pas Chapel and climb a bright white, zigzagging staircase to a hilltop chapel that boasts panoramic ocean views high above the town. Finally, stroll through the historic Town Center and enjoy cobbled streets, serene churches, small plazas, and distinctive tiled facades. Be sure to try Queijadas da Vila, the town’s famous sweet, eggy tarts made from a 500-year-old recipe originating from a convent.

Furnas

Sinta-se à vontade para explorar no seu próprio ritmo e descobrir

Parada: 2 horas - entrada não incluída

Steaming springs, gorgeous gardens, and volcanic-inspired cuisine define this geothermal journey through Furnas village. In the volcanic heart of Sao Miguel lies Furnas, a village where Earth’s power bubbles to the surface. Begin at Caldeiras das Furnas, where steaming fumaroles hiss from the ground. Next, unwind in the warm, mineral waters of Terra Nostra Park, surrounded by a 200-year-old botanical wonderland. Continue to Poca da Dona Beija, where you can soak in terraced thermal pools and give your body and soul a much-needed respite. Don’t forget to sample Cozido das Furnas, Bolo Levedo, and local pineapples for a true taste of the Azores.

Parada: 1 hora - entrada não incluída

Enjoy charming Povoacao with its peaceful gardens and pristine volcanic beach. Follow your guide on a walk through the historic old town, along cobblestone streets to charming churches and cozy cafes topped with flower-laden balconies.

Travelers can also head to nearby Praia da Ribeira Quente, an unforgettable volcanic sand beach where geothermal vents warm the sparkling waves. Finally, enjoy a scenic walk along one of the most remote parts of the island along the Caminho Agua Retorta.

Great transfer option.

I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.

It was a fantastic trip.

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.

Best transport company anywhere

We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.

Excellent experience in traveling

We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.

Daytrip never disappoints

We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.

Great driver in Egypt

Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.

Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico

Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.

Excellent service

We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.

Know more about your day trip

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.

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.
