Customer Reviews
We were very happy with our ATV tours, both in December of 2025. On the first Bruno took us to see the stunning views of Sete Cidades, we lucked out in that we were the only ones that signed up, so we had a private tour and covered a lot of ground! We all had so much fun that we inquired about other tours. A few days later Filipe took us around the historical sites of Ribera Grande, before taking us on an incredible off road adventure, to Salto do Cabrito waterfall and the Miradouro do Cintrao overlook. We all had a fabulous time on both tours. Both guides were knowledgeable, personable and fun. Filipe also recommended a restaurant (Restaurante Associacao Agricola) and it was amazing!
BOOK THIS TOUR! It was easily the best thing we did while on Sao Miguel. We got to see parts of the island we never would have access to otherwise. Bruno was wonderful and an excellent guide. Absolutely gorgeous views and so fun!
It was a blast! We picked a somewhat rainy day and the clouds made the whole ride feel mystic. There were plenty of stops to get out and poke around. The team was super thoughtful- focused on everyone’s safety first. The views are spectacular- it is so green- you have to be in it to appreciate it. The openness of nothing but green and water and cows. Just gorgeous.
