Pineapples Santo António

Nice way to kill off 20-40 minutes. Free tour of the pineapple greenhouses after a 7 minute video. Lots of ready to eat pineapples on sale. Tour guides and gift shop staff speaks fluent English, enthusiastic!

Great experience. It takes ca 20 minutes for the video + tour. It's free of charge. Then you have all the time to spend in the gift shop where you can buy pineapple liquer (amazing!), pineapple jams, biscuits, cork bags, fridge magnets and others. The lady that guided us was the sweetest. There's a parking on premises.

I enjoyed the tour about how pineapples are grown and harvested - takes ~2 years to harvest compared to ~1 year for south american ones, hence the premium pricing on these! There are no samples here but u can purchase a whole pineapple and they will cut it for you free of charge. 9.8euros/kg, and we spent just under 7 euros on the sweetest and juiciest one we have ever had! The decor of their plantation was cute as well and they also sell pineapple jams, liquor and little trinkets (pineapple themed magnets and totes) as well as pineapple gelato. Pineapple KIMA is available as well. They have a small seating area outside with two tables; and a small parking lot (free).

Add this stop to your trip!! Thiago was great and gave us so much information. We had a great chat with him and he really made us feel welcome.

Videos are shown I'm English which make it easy to understand all the growing process of pinneaples. We went to green houses and saw all the stages. Very interesting.

Taken in charge very rapidly when entering. Small movie and visit. Would have liked to taste a pinneaple though.

Amazing to learn about the love and patience it takes to produce organic pineapple. The juiciest ever tasted.

A must go for Azores, they take you in and let you watch a 7 minute video and then take you on a tour inside of the greenhouses. Our guide spoke very good English and the Tour is free. We got the pineapple, the ice cream, and the Kima. I definitely recommend.

Its a great experience to see how the pineapples are grown in Sao Miguel despite not having tropical climate.
Tiago is a great guide and explains every thing in detail. The tour is free and starts with a short video, then tour to the greenhouses where you can see the pineapples in various stages and then the shop which has interesting things made out of pineapples including beer.

Worth to visit and to learn about pineapple growth process through the free tour. The gift shop is selling lots of homemade pineapple related products.

It's interesting to see how pineapples grow, if you never seen it before. Short tour, a film and a glass of pineapple lemonade. I liked the show room decorated with old things. The guide tells in detail about growing process and their business. Interesting.

Compared to other plantations this location offers really nice Portuguese or English free walking tour

The best plantation on the island ever, with the guide, shop with the products as liquer, pineapple,ice cream etc., You can feel that people doing their job with the passion, entry free

The best pineapple plantation on the island the the least visited. The quality of these pineapples is above the rest, and the tasting is delicious. Highly recommend.

Very interesting . We walked up from the harbour front. Google maps has 2 routes. We took the slightly longer route which was a gentle climb. The other way is steep. Met by a very pleasant mand who showed us the greenhouses and explained how they worked. Then we watched the pineapple video in the souvenir shop they have. It is free of charge, a tip box - which of course is a ceramic pineapple- is placed next to the till. A toilet is also there to use. It is only a short visit that is spent here but well worth it

I love this place. Nice staff and a good tour. It was very interesting to see and hear about the plantation. Definitely worth a visit! Pineapples are so strongly associated with the Azores, and learning how they're grown makes you appreciate them even more.

Small shop with local factory pineapple products and nice guided tour. Employees are speaking fluent english, very nice experience to see the stages of ananas growing till the harvest.

Chose to go to this pineapple plantation based on reviews. People are right in regards to it being a little hard to find the location; they are doing renovations. The tour started with a quick video describing the cultivation process, then there was a tour of all the greenhouses with the pineapples in different stages of growth. It was quite interesting and I really did appreciate the tour, having things explained to us. FYI if you do want to try the fresh pineapple, their price was cheaper than we saw in the grocery stores. Definitely would recommend this plantation!

Great free tour provided. Nice gift shop at end.

Perfect for rainy days. The tour was free and very interesting. Afterwards you could try pineapple and it really was the best pineapple i have ever eaten.
