Editor’s take Roman Antonov · 8 best Furnas tours, choice 2 of 8
I'd book this if keeping the price down matters most. Azorean Tales charges from €65 per adult. The day takes 7 to 8 hours. Lunch and entry tickets cost extra.
You start with Gorreana tea and the Pico do Ferro viewpoint. Terra Nostra comes before the lake. I'd choose this route for the pineapple plantation at the end.
Be ready at the designated point at 08:45. Departure is at 09:00. Bookings made less than 48 hours before departure can have limited guide languages.

In Azorean Tales’s own words, from the listing.
After visiting the thermas, stop for lunch at the Furnas. Try the famous mixed meat cooked or many of the other menu options. After lunch, visit the lagoon and stroll a little to appreciate the surrounding area. After visiting the lagoon, it is time to go to Villa Franca to see the world famous island. Finish your Ponta Delgada tour with a visit to the pineapple plantations.
