6 best hot springs tours in the Azores

For evening baths in Furnas, I'd book Azores Islands Experience's Furnas baths. Poça da Dona Beija tickets are included. Adults pay from €98.

For Terra Nostra with lunch, I'd book Picos de Aventura's Furnas day from €115 per adult. For Ferraria, choose Azores Like Locals' private west tour from €89 per adult. Pickup also includes Ribeira Grande. Swimming depends on tides and sea conditions.

Viator lists fifty-five hot springs tours in the Azores. I compared the options by reviews, ratings and what's included. These are my six. All six tours are on São Miguel. Trips take 3.5 to 8 hours. Cancel at least 24 hours before departure for a full refund. Details checked 10 October 2026 · edited by Roman Antonov
