Azores Holidays

Trips to the Azores

In the midst of the Atlantic lies an autonomous Portuguese archipelago. The Azores are not widely known, but are much loved by those that have laid eyes on these volcanically formed jewels.

The islands are the visible tips of huge underwater mountains, saddled across the American and African tectonic plates. The rich green scenery, cavernous grottoes, towering cedar forests and glistening cerulean lakes call to nature lovers. A landscape of sprawling luscious fields, broken by rocky craters, smoking fumaroles, gloopy mudpots, and scorching springs, the adventure sports here are as awesome and varied as the terrain. Try windsurfing, kayaking, or even stand up paddle boarding. This is also a premier diving location. The nutrient rich water makes it one of the best locations in the Atlantic to take the plunge. Settling between a snug 17C – 24C, the waters here encourage a rich ecosystem. Celebrated for whale and dolphin watching, the Azores are home to a third of the world’s species of cetacean. Witness the majesty of a Blue Whale, the largest animal on the planet, as herds pass by the islands on their migration route.

A chance to explore 3 different Azorean islands. Good mix of inland and coastal walks varying from lush green vegetation to barren volcanic terrain.
Melvyn Tisbury Walking in the Azores

A great hiking programme that showed off the 3 islands we visited at their best (with the exception of the hike on day 2 in the afternoon -I believe you already know about this and the hike has already been removed – it was a shame, as I think for some, it caused some discomfort for later walks). The mix of islands, opportunity to walk/eat together as a group, was a great balance of activities. There was time on a coach/travel every day, however, that was an ok amount of travel, to ensure we got the best of our time there. The Azores are absolutely beautiful and I would recommend this holiday (with a few tweaks). Generally packed lunches were ok, some lovely picnics on part of the route. (one day was poor , the cheese sandwich day, would like to see that improved)
Di Blackburn Walking in the Azores

Great holiday but should have been longer. Travellers for this trip need to be fit, prepared for steep climbs and humid weather, ‘moderate’ is not an accurate assessment of the walks. Admittedly 3 – 4mph is a bit of a give away, that said definitely a trip to repeat, this is a beautiful part of the world.
