Drive to Ribeira Grande, the oldest and largest city on the north coast, with a distinct air of Portuguese influence.
Mountain roads lead up to the summit of Pico da Barrosa Mountain, where great views of Fire Lake, said to be one of the most beautiful of the island's lakes, offer fantastic photo opportunities.
Visit a pineapple plantation to learn all about the process of cultivating and marketing this delicious tropical fruit.
On the return to Ponta Delgada, see the western part of the island with more than a hundred small volcanoes. This is a distinctive reminder of the island's volcanic origins as you descend towards Remedios and return to the ship.
