Breathtaking views with awesome quad dune buggy tour guides Louis and Reuban. We did the full day tour that included excellent buffet food and choice of beer, wine etc. Great tour fir a great price.

What an amazing view we had from the lookout. We tried to view the lakes yesterday but the clouds ere too low and we couldn’t see anything through the clouds. Our guide asked us if we wanted to try again today and the group unanimously agreed and once we drove to the top of the caldera we were all impressed with what we saw. The view was spectacular. Well worth going back.

This place is gorgeous. I went one day and it was too foggy to get the best view, so I went back on a clear day. The guide said that the Azores can experience four seasons in a day. Fog is common. It’s a breathtaking place to see!

Caldeira das Sete Cidades is a must-see destination that offers an incredible experience. The 23 km hike around the twin lakes is nothing short of spectacular, providing breathtaking views and a true sense of adventure. The lush landscapes and vibrant colors of the lakes make every step worthwhile. My only suggestion is the addition of more restrooms along the trail. Despite this, it's an unforgettable journey that showcases the stunning beauty of the Azores. Highly recommended! Wear good hiking shoes as the terrain can be slippery.

Eduardo picked us up on time, a d returned us to starting point. He was so knowledgeable about the island, it's ecosystem and stopped at all the favorite points. It was such an enjoyable afternoon and met all of our 28-68 age ranges. Jeep was great and Eduardo drove safely!! Thanks Eduardo for a great time on our visit to the Azores fto the US!! I recommend this tour of the crater and it's lagoons!!

The twin lake complex of Sete Cidades, formed in the crater of the much larger Sete Cidades Massif is one of the iconic views of the Azores so of course you have to come and see it for yourself and I hope you are blessed with a perfect weather day as we were. Whether you are exploring by foot or by vehicle the scenery and flower and fauna are truly stunning. There are several hiking paths along the various lakes but these can be rocky, narrow and quite possibly slippery depending on the weather so propper hiking attire is strongly recommended. If by vehicle then there are several Miradouro’s, the most popular being Miradouro da Grota do Inferno. But there are also additional ones on the road down to Sete Cidades which give a different vista to the one you see in the tourist trip brochures. Miradouro da Vista do Rei and Miradouro do Cerrado das Freiras are worth stopping at for the vistas.

This was a once in a lifetime experience. When we went early in the morning it was cloudy and misting. In the afternoon it was clear and beautiful. The ideal time would be a sunny morning because there would be fewer people in your photos. The weather changes quickly, so it’s all a matter of timing. Don’t forget to visit the bottom of the Caldera at the town of Sete Cidades.
