Sete Cidades lake is outstanding in size, being 2.4 miles long, 1.2 miles wide. The perimeter of the lake is coated with incredible hydrangeas. These are most radiant with colour from the months of June to September. There are a number of other lakes in surrounding areas, all with different shades of green and blue.

On Monday we did the inland tour of Sete Cidades, cycling round the crater and kayaking on the lake. The guides were both really informative, and this was a fantastic introduction to the island. The cycle ride was not too hard and the kayaking was about the right length for us as it was a windy day. The views from the top were clear and it was a really great adventure – I would thoroughly recommend this trip for families.

The buffet lunch on the Sete Citades trip was really excellent with a good choice even though we tend not to eat meat. We also enjoyed the choice of activities on that trip with a short cycle trip and then chance to kayak on the blue/green lakes. Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative.
