Off-Road Jeep Tours: Adventure and Comfort
On board our comfortable 4×4 jeeps, you’ll enjoy a personalized tour away from the crowds, following scenic routes only accessible to off-road vehicles. Our journeys lead you through rugged mountain trails, hidden streams, and remote dirt roads — revealing São Miguel’s volcanic landscapes, waterfalls, and lagoons like you’ve never seen them before. With the safety and comfort of our jeeps, you’ll travel in style while exploring places that traditional tours simply can’t reach — all guided by locals who share the island’s rich history, culture, traditions, and gastronomy with passion and depth.
Hike with a Local Guide
In addition to volcanoes and lagoons, our off-road tours also take you to some of São Miguel’s most beautiful waterfalls, such as the Salto do Cabrito Waterfall, Salto do Prego, Moinhos do Felix or the stunning Ribeira dos Caldeirões Waterfall. For nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts, we also offer guided adventure hikes on trails that lead to breathtaking panoramic viewpoints, where lush vegetation and the sound of rushing water steal the show.
