Cruise Travellers: Seven Cities Volcano, The Blue & Green Lake
Overview
This exclusive activity is designed specifically for cruise passengers docking in Ponta Delgada. Your experience begins with a visit to the Santo António Pineapple Plantation, where you can explore the greenhouses, learn about the traditional cultivation process, and enjoy a tasting of fresh pineapple and local pineapple liqueur — a unique way to discover one of the island’s sweetest traditions.
Next, embark on a scenic drive through the picturesque Sete Cidades volcano, enjoying breathtaking views of São Miguel’s lush landscapes on your way to the Vista do Rei viewpoint. At the iconic Sete Cidades viewpoint, you’ll be amazed by the dramatic contrast between the Blue and Green Lakes, nestled within a dormant volcanic crater — a truly mesmerizing view and perfect photo opportunity.
We will then make a stop in the village center of Sete Cidades, allowing time to visit the Neo-Gothic São Nicolau Church and experience the charm of this historic community.
Before returning to Ponta Delgada, the tour includes a stop at the Miradouro do Escalvado, offering spectacular views over the Ilhéus dos Mosteiros and the village of Mosteiros, beautifully situated on a lava-fan coastline. This is the perfect spot to capture the final breathtaking photos of the day.
At the end of the tour, we will ensure you are returned to your cruise ship on time, your heart full of memories of São Miguel’s incredible landscapes.
