What to do at Furnas, Azores at Night?
The majority of tourists visit Furnas during the day and never get to know the magical Valley of Furnas. After nightfall the area transforms itself: reflections from the old lights make the fumaroles steam glow on the dark background, hot springs become astonishing in their shadows and the empty roads make it feel like your presence is welcomed. What stands out at night:
- Soak your body and soul in Poça da Dona Beija hot springs at night
One of the most popular thermal facilities at Furnas, the only one open to the public at night. Mineral-rich waters fill up four different thermal pools all fed from the same hot springs, at temperatures ranging from 37ºC to 39ºC (99ºF – 102ºF), surrounded by an exotic mix of vegetation.
- Walk around Furnas Fumaroles and Caldeiras
Every one who visits the center of the village of Furnas eventually finds their fumaroles and caldeiras, where the locals have adapted to living around them. In the day it’s impressive, but at night is when one can truly enjoy and take the time to absorb these unique events, an otherworldly experience.
- Have the Cozido das Furnas for dinner
The most popular gastronomical experience at São Miguel, slowly cooked underground with the geo-thermal heat, for 5 to 6 hours. A tasty and tender meal made of locally sourced ingredients. For lunch you’ll have to deal with waiting queues and very busy noisy restaurant rooms. The servings are quite abundant.
- Fumarolic Field of Lagoa das Furnas without crowds
Furnas is one of the main attractions on the island for visitor, during the morning and afternoon bus tours, van tours, rental cars and taxis all fill up the entire village and surrounding lagoon with hundreds of people.

“Wildscape is the ONLY tour company on Sao Miguel we would ever use! Ivo is amazing! We have done the Mystic tour twice and each time it has lived up to and surpassed all of our expectations. In Furnas we plunged in the thermal baths of Poça da Dona Beija and of course, ate the Cozido das Furnas.This second time, Ivo went out of his way to work with us to make it a private tour which even included our toddler who he was wonderful to! Ivo is so knowledgeable and was up to answering our long list of questions! Ivo is so knowledgeable, but is also kind and funny, he felt like he was part of our family by the end of the day! We are definitely only using Ivo as a tour guide in Sao Miguel!” – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kirsten Botelho on Google Reviews

Frequently Asked Questions — furnas Hot Springs Night Tour, Azores
If you can’t find what you’re looking for here, please don’t hesitate to contact us! We’d be happy to help.
The climate of the Azores is classified as temperate Atlantic or subtropical in certain areas, characterized by a small daily temperature range (which fluctuates between approximately 4 °C and 30 °C [39 °F and 86 °F] throughout the year), abundant rainfall, high relative humidity, and persistent winds.
BetweenOctober and April, we recommend bringing one or two warmer, waterproof items of clothing.
From May to September, we recommend light, breathable clothing; temperatures don’t get very high in the Azores, but the humidity is noticeable. At night, temperatures can drop significantly, even during the summer; bring a warm item of clothing, just in case.
Precautions For Thermal Baths
Because these waters are so rich in certain minerals, they can stain light-colored fabrics, turning them orange.
If you have dyed hair, especially in light shades, your hair may turn orange or green if you submerge it in the water.
Metal jewelry may change color irreversibly; we recommend that you remove it before bathing.
These waters come from a natural source and are not subjected to any type of treatment or filtration. DO NOT open your eyes underwater or swallow any of this water.
If you have open wounds, avoid submerging them in the water
The mineral-rich thermal waters that feed these thermal pools are very rich in iron, silica, sodium bicarbonate, sulfur, potassium and magnesium. This mineral richness provides an excellent natural treatment for the skin, offers an extraordinary sense of relaxation, and stimulates blood circulation.
On the other hand, staying submerged in hot water for an extended period can cause hypotension and bradycardia, so it is not recommended for everyone.
People with circulatory problems should not take thermal baths (swelling in the legs, varicose veins, and similar conditions). The thermal facilities also do not recommend it for infants and pregnant women.
If in doubt, consult your doctor first.
Clothing & What to Bring
It is essential to wear comfortable shoes; high heels may look good in photos, but you’ll likely miss out on some of the fun when walking in areas off the beaten path, or you’ll be more prone to injury. You can expect to encounter uneven terrain during our walks.
Lightweight, breathable clothing for summer; waterproof and warmer clothing for winter. For the evening, just bring one warmer item of clothing.
We bring umbrellas if necessary.
Please bring a swimsuit, a towel, sunscreen, and flip-flops.
Be careful when walking on the rocks, especially the shiny green ones, as they can be quite slippery.
The wildlife at land in São Miguel island is non-predatory: you won’t encounter snakes, poisonous spiders, coyotes, foxes, wolves, bears, or any other type of predatory species.
The main concern usually arises in the ocean, with jellyfish, or when you get too close to certain bird nests.
The Mystic Tour includes at your door pickup from your accommodation or meeting points in Ponta Delgada and Lagoa: no taxi, no rental car, no figuring out where to park in Furnas at night.
We collect you around 17:30 (5:30pm), you sit back for the 45-minute drive through the south coast and we drop you back by 23:30.
It’s the most relaxed way to experience Furnas hot springs from Ponta Delgada, and the most complete: dinner, hot springs and the fumaroles by night – all included in an evening.
