Kayaking and Mountain Biking in Furnas

Make your way to a departure point in Ponta Delgada, where you’ll meet a guide and group for the trip to the Vale Encantado das Furnas.

Upon arrival in the scenic valley, you’ll see a fumarole—it's evidence of the island’s volcanic origins, and a favorite destination for locals, who make traditional stew in the steaming water.

Spend the morning paddling across the Lagoa das Furnas, enjoying views of the gentle, hill-fringed shoreline. Following your time on the water, come to shore for lunch at Furnas village, where you'll have the option to try a flavorful dish of fish or meat at a local restaurant.

The afternoon is all about exploring by bike. You’ll be fitted with a mountain bike and helmet, then pedal a loop trail that starts at Furnas village, follows the caldera surrounding Lago das Furnas, and reaches a high point at Pico dos Milhos.

Descend by secondary paths that lead to the original departure point, then finish the day with return transfer to Ponta Delgada, where this tour concludes with drop-off at 4:30pm.
