Grand Circle of the Island - All the Island in a Day with Carlos
You didn´t have the time to read your guidebook and want to see as much as possible of the island in a day? Just let a local do this for you. This is an intense full day tour that allows you to see all of the island in one day, in a pleasurable way!
The Grand Circle includes all of the volcanoes and main lakes (Sete Cidades, Lagoa do Fogo and Furnas), and we cover the best viewpoints, from one end to the island to the other. Along the way we make sure that you also visit the tea plantation and grant you the chance to try one of the local thermal pools, all must see highlights of the island.
Expect some driving to allow reaching all of these places, the roads and views along the way are itself worth the journey, and your guide makes sure you have plenty of stops to enjoy them, and also some time for coffee break/lunch.
This is the way to go if you only have a short stay on the island, or if you want a first introduction to all of it before you explore it on your own.
