Itinéraire
Cette paroisse située sur la côte nord de l'île de São Miguel est l'endroit où nous commençons et terminons la visite. Après avoir commencé notre visite sur des routes pavées, nous longerons le front de mer et explorerons les chemins de terre dans cette région.
C'est une montagne avec une altitude de 845 mètres. La vue à couper le souffle est très similaire à "Miradouro da Boca do Inferno" mais d'un point de vue plus élevé (accessible avec les quads) et encore plus magnifique en raison de son altitude. De là, vous pouvez voir Lagoa Rasa, Lagoa de Santiago, Lagoa Verde, Lagoa Azul et une vue sur l'ensemble du cratère du volcan endormi de Sete Cidades. S'il fait beau, c'est l'un des points forts de la visite, où l'on peut voir presque toute l'île depuis le sommet.
Situé à 540 mètres d'altitude, ce belvédère offre une vue unique et panoramique sur le cratère de Sete Cidades. Selon les conditions météorologiques et les routes de terre, nous pouvons voir la même vue sous un angle différent "Miradouro das Cumeeiras", où nous pouvons avoir une vue imprenable sur le lac vert et bleu mais du côté opposé du cratère.
Ici, vous pouvez vous attendre à faire des chemins de terre qui entourent le Blue Lagoon à Sete Cidades avec une vue incroyable sur les lacs.
En passant sur un chemin de terre autourIl s'agit d'une paroisse située sur la côte nord de l'île de São Miguel. C'est l'un des villages de transit que nous passons sur le chemin du retour au point de rendez-vous. Ici, nous passerons par Poços (zone de baignade) et la place de l'ancienne usine de baleines, désactivée depuis 1970 où il ne reste que la cheminée de l'usine. Ici, nous allons également faire un chemin de terre qui relie cette paroisse à Fenais da Luz. Lagoa Azul.
Ici, nous revenons à notre point de départ, en explorant des chemins de terre en bord de mer.

Beautiful excursion of just over 3 hours on board well-maintained ATV vehicles. You travel about 50 km between asphalt and dirt roads and reach wonderful panoramic points. We went as 4 with our 9 and 12-year-old daughters and apart from the dust, we had a lot of fun. I recommend you enter the exact address with the street number of the meeting point into the GPS since it is located inside a normal house. Highly recommended 👍🏻
Such a Fun way to see the island. I booked this from the wonderful TripAdvisor reviews and it did not disappoint. I was a little nervous the terrain would be rough but even though some parts were a bumpy it was completely fine, and fun! 100% recommend. My one piece of advice no matter how warm it is when you start out bring a sweatshirt! It was warm when we left but when we got to the top of the mountain it was at least 20 degrees cooler and I was freezing. Book, go, enjoy all the beautiful scenery the tour has to offer!
Had a great time on this tour. Gorgeous views up close and personal with Sete Cidades. Plenty of opportunities to switch drivers if multiple people in one vehicle are of age. The only thing I would do differently is book a taxi back to my hotel as I did not have a rental ahead of time. The owners / tour guides were kind enough to call a taxi service for us, as service on my phone was non-existent at the meeting point.
Wow! What a fun experience and great way to see remote parts of the island as well as drive through the small towns. The guides were helpful, knowledgeable and kind. I would totally do it again.
An incredible route. And the two guides who accompanied us were super good; they were with us at all times in case we needed to know anything. Despite the fog that was there, which didn't let us enjoy the experience 100%, I recommend everyone book it. 10 out of 10.
The tour was very nice and well done.
My family (husband, 18 yr old son and 21 yr old daughter) all enjoyed ourselves. Instead of one 4-person UTV, we decided to get two 2-person UTVs so both my husband and I could have the opportunity to drive (and potentially the kids if they chose to, which they did not). We went on a mostly sunny day and the views were outstanding. This was our first trip to the Azores so we had no idea what was the best way to access views, and this experience allowed us to see several views we would have had to hike up to see, and gave us ideas about future excursions on our own. While we all enjoyed ourselves, this excursion may not be for everyone. The UTVs were very loud and I had to almost yell to talk to my daughter next to me, but they do provide headphones to help cut the noise of the engine down. We all drove in a line (2 person ATVs in the front, 2 person UTVs in the middle and then 4 person ATVs), so the route is very specific and there is no opportunity to deviate. We drove on paved major roads about half the time, paved back roads about 20% of the time and dirt roads about 30% of the time. I absolutely have no confidence to drive the rental car whenever we travel to Europe, but I enjoyed myself driving the UTV because for the most part we were in a line and I just followed the person in front of me. When we got to stop signs, my daughter looked right while i looked left if we were on a blind corner. My family plays a lot of Mario Kart and it felt a bit like I was driving one in real life. I am happy we chose the 2 person UTV over the 2 person ATV because we had some shade as opposed to full sun the whole time. Overall I recommend this excursion if you are new to the island and want to see 5 different views in a relatively short amount of time.
What an amazing experience! It was so much fun and the tour guides were great!! Highly recommended!!
Torrential rain impeded our ability to enjoy the anticipated adventure. Limited by time on the island, we could not rebook, sadly. By the end of the tour—we were soaked & chilled to the bone. Suggestion: it have been really nice to offer towels & hot cocoa.
Trip leaders were awesome, side by side worked great. Had a great time, only wish there was more off road time.
