Connect with nature as you explore the beautiful countryside on an exciting off-road ride.

Rumbling through the stunning wilderness at the heart of the island, you’ll pass by hidden waterfalls and traverse emerald valleys.

From the lofty viewpoint, gaze out across the two-mile-long Fire Lake – one of the 7 Natural Wonders of Portugal – which glistens at the bottom of a deep, green crater. 

Make a stop at the hot springs of Ribeira Grande to capture photos before visiting the Gorreana Tea Factory where you’ll have the chance to try a refreshing brew and explore the fascinating working museum.
