Canyoning & Biking Tour
Both of these activities combine lots of fun, endless adrenaline and magnificent landscapes! With the Canyoning tour, early in the morning, you will explore incredible rivers and waterfalls through different techniques (eg, rappel, small jumps and rock-slides). On the Biking tour, which will follow after lunch, you will discover new panoramas, fauna and flora that you never thought existed. Without a doubt, the ideal excursion for adventure and nature lovers!
NOTE: If you want to add something special to this duet, at the end of the day, it is possible to visit and relax in the natural hot springs of “Poça da Dona Beija” for 1 hour, for an extra cost of 15€ per person.
- Ideal for fun, adventure and adrenaline lovers;
- Suitable for (almost) all ages, and for beginners (while still challenging for the more experienced client);
- Possibility of Pick-up and Drop-off from / to your place of accommodation – if respective option is chosen;
- It is recommended that you are in good physical shape and know how to ride a bicycle, but you don’t need to know how to swim for the Canyoning tour.

On the other hand, our bike tours can be carried out in one of the following 2 areas, depending on local conditions, weather and the abilities of the group:
– GRAMINHAIS / TRONQUEIRA: The circuit will start on the Graminhais plateau, very close to Pico da Vara (the highest peak of the island), and will pass through the area of Tronqueira, which covers the largest primitive forest of the island, surrounded by immense mountains and deep valleys. In addition to breathtaking landscapes, you will have the opportunity to explore and get to know a little of the typical fauna, flora and geology of São Miguel.
NOTE: Most of the tour will be done downhill, and some places can be quite steep.
– FURNAS: This is, perhaps, the most unusual and impressive parish on the island, as it is located within one of the oldest and still active volcanic calderas of the archipelago. In addition to having the opportunity to visit the emblematic fumaroles, thermal springs and Furnas Lagoon, you will also learn about the history of this magnificent land.
NOTE: This will be a slightly more demanding tour, with some rough uphill roads that, in the end, will be totally worth it!
