Have you ever been to Ponta Delgada?

Ponta Delgada began as a simple fishing village whose fishermen were once attracted by its safe coves, but soon began to play the role of main port of the São Miguel Island.

The city grew and in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the convents, churches and manor houses flourished and still today they integrate the historic centre.

Ponta Delgada is today a cosmopolitan city, outward looking, with a lively economic and cultural life. The extensive coastline road, which borders the harbour and the sea outlining the city, is the expression of its dynamism, adapting to new times and also the access road to the city.

Boasting a history of over five centuries and precious testimonies of the past, Ponta Delgada is a multifaceted city where tradition lives hand-in-hand with the present and cosmopolitanism with wholesome tranquility of the Azorean life.

What People Are Saying

★★★★★
"We were at São Miguel with Ruben. It was a nice trip!"
★★★★★
"We booked this excursion and the first day was so good we immediately booked a second day of Jeep touring through this company. Alice was very helpful in booking our tours and Telmo was a miraculous guide. Telmo has lived on Sao Miguel for his whole life and clearly has great knowledge of the towns, history, culture, geography and botany. He constantly adjusted the plan to suit our wishes and to try to manage the variable weather and never hesitated to take photos of my wife and I for us. We had the pleasure of dining with Telmo at two fabulous restaurants that seemed infrequently found by the tourists. Overall, he took us to numerous amazing places we would never have found on our own. We are truly so grateful that he made our trip to the Azores as magical as it could be!"
★★★★★
"A fantastic experience, with knowledgeable biologist and experienced skipper. We were out in the ocean for just a few moments before the radio sounded and a mother and calf blue whale were just swimmy by, having a feed. Highly recommended!"
★★★★★
"Wonderful and breathtaking beauty!! We were very lucky to have Deen 2 whales and many dolphins. Top!"
★★★★★
"Even if we do not see any whales (that's nature ;-), but only a lot of Dolphins and birds, the trip was well organized, the location not crowded and the personal gave interesting information"
★★★★★
"From the day I made my booking I received great personal support and the process of booking was made very easy. On the day we had a great experience. Common Dolphins at play and feeding and two turtles was a good outcome but as the weather took a turn for the worse we made back to the shore at pace. Better than any roller coaster but the organisers had ensured we had been provided with good waterproofs to keep our bodies at least dry. Then we had the fantastic experience of the humpback breaching over and over again. Everyone onboard concluded that it was well worth the trip and at the end the Skipper showed us all how well he knew his boat. I fully recommend this trip to anyone prepared to expect the unexpected.
