Overview

Spend a week exploring Sao Miguel’s by bike (or e-bike) on our self guided cycling touring holiday.

There’s no better way to explore Sao Miguel than by bike.  Both Jake and Ian have cycle toured on Sao Miguel island and loved the combination of quiet road, luggage transfers and comfortable places to stay.

Highlights along the way include a two night stay at the Convento São Francisco in the historic town of Vila Franca do Campo, a whale and dolphin watching trip, and visits to Furnas lake and the Terra Nostra botanical gardens with their geothermally heated outdoor pool.

This year, we’re able to offer e-bikes, which definately make life easier!
