In a small group we drove with quads and buggies from the starting point in the north to the Sete Cidades area. We drove over roads, hill and dale to various viewpoints. The view during the tour was overwhelming, especially at the crater rim. At each stop, things were explained and questions answered. We also stopped at a bar, which was very cheap.

Unless you're an avid hiker traveling without kids, this is a must do. The views are awe-inspiring. Bring a jacket! It gets cold at the top. The equipment is top notch, and the guides are great. We'll be booking this experience again.

From beginning to end, Felipe was an excellent tour guide. He provides the best equipment (brand new Yamaha side by side) with helmets, gloves and even provided and extra waterproof jacket for my son. He led our small group from ocean through the mountains with stops for pictures and information about what we were seeing. The driving itself was highly adventurous but we always felt safe. Highly recommend!
