Ponta Delgada: Sete Cidades Half-Day Shore Excursion

4 hours

Moderate

Discover the natural beauty of the Sete Cidades on a half-day shore excursion from Ponta Delgada. Admire the views of the island from the Lagoa do Canário and Vista do Rei.
Join an excursion to Sete Cidades, one of the 7 natural wonders of Portugal. Start your drive from the cruise port and go uphill through the beautiful scenery. Make a stop at the Pico do Carvão viewpoint to enjoy one of the best views over the island.  See the Lagoa do Canário and the viewpoint next to it. From here, have an amazing first eye contact with the Sete Cidades caldera and see the most beautiful lakes of it (Rasa lake, Santiago lake, and the twin lakes).  Head to the Vista do Rei viewpoint, from where you can admire the most famous perspective over the twin lakes of Sete Cidades. Next, drive to the Sete Cidades settlement next to the twin lakes and explore the most interesting spots near the lake.  On the way back, pass by the viewpoint of Escalvado, allowing you to see the Mosteiros settlement placed on a lava delta formation, before returning to Ponta Delgada and your cruise ship, or enjoy free time in the town, and make your own way back to the ship.

          Cobh/Cork: Blarney Castle, Kinsale & Cork City Shore Tour

          This was a fantastic experience! Beautiful drive, well planned tour, very nice bus. No regrets at all booking this independently instead of through the cruise line. We went the same places the cruise line excursions did and had a much better value!  ... Our tour guide was excellent as well! Highly recommend!
