Creator's Key Takeaways

I highly recommend doing it because you will see way more than within guided Excursion

if you feel confident and if you are into organizing things I can recommend taking a rental car on this island

these two viewpoints are absolutely worth a visit if you're making a tour around the island

always plan a lot of extra time just in case something goes wrong

Creator's Tips & Advice

Rent a car to explore São Miguel independently for more flexibility and cost savings.
Plan extra time for your itinerary to accommodate unexpected delays.
Visit viewpoints (miraduros) for stunning views and photo opportunities.
Consider local rental car companies for better prices, but be cautious on islands with less tourism.
