Sete Cidades Half-Day Shore Excursion (Comfortable Car or Van)
Discover Sete Cidades, one of the 7 Natural Wonders of Portugal, on this scenic half-day shore excursion. Enjoy pick-up directly at the Ponta Delgada cruise terminal and travel in a comfortable car or van through the island’s lush, volcanic landscape.
