Editor’s take Roman Antonov · 8 best Furnas tours, choice 1 of 8
I'd book this if you want a full day with lunch. Green Visions Tours includes cozido and hotel pickup. The trip takes 8 hours. Prices start at €80 per adult.
You visit Gorreana before heading into Furnas. I'd pay the extra €17 for Terra Nostra. That covers the garden and thermal pool.

In Green Visions Tours’s own words, from the listing.
Before heading towards the Furnas volcano, stop at the viewpoint of Santa Iria to observe the coastline. Visit Europe’s oldest tea plantation and try the unique teas made here. Next, go to Pico do Ferro and take in the spectacular panoramic views of the valley. Then you can see the unique process of the famous Furnas stew being cooked underground by the volcanic steam.
