Day 1
Sao Miguel Island / Ponta DelgadaOla! Welcome to Sao Miguel Island, the largest in the Azores. Affectionately nicknamed the ‘Green Island’, you can expect to be greeted by mountainous terrains and lush flora. Your island adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm, where you’ll meet your group leader and fellow travellers. If you arrive early, perhaps wander along the seaside promenade of Ponta Delgada town, pick up a plate of bacalhau (dried and salted cod) at the farmer’s market in Mercado da Graca, or even sample some fresh seafood at the local restaurants.
-
Day 2
Sao Miguel Island / Ponta DelgadaBegin your day with a picturesque walk around Lagoa das Furnas, where you'll witness the unique process of preparing Cozido das Furnas—a traditional stew slow-cooked underground using volcanic heat, one of Portugal’s most distinctive dishes. Next, explore Terra Nostra Park, where you can either soak in the warm, mineral-rich hot springs or wander through the lush botanical gardens. For lunch, savor the delicious Cozido with your group before heading to the Caldeiras in Furnas village to sample the naturally carbonated mineral waters. Your guide will then lead you to Miradouro de Santa Iria, a stunning northern viewpoint offering sweeping views of the island’s dramatic coastline. Afterward, learn about tea cultivation at a historic tea plantation, and conclude your tour at the Ananás dos Açores Boa Fruta Plantation, where you'll taste pineapple liqueurs and other pineapple-based delicacies.
Meals: Breakfast -
Day 3
Sao Miguel Island / Ponta DelgadaThis morning, you’ll visit Lagoa das Sete Cidades – a green freshwater lake nestled in a volcanic caldera. After, you’re free to explore the island on your own terms. If you’d like to learn about Azorean natural history then the Museu Carlos Machado is the place for you. The building sits in a 16th-century convent, which is as much of an attraction as the museum itself. If you want to stay outdoors, consider taking in your surroundings from a rented bike or paddleboard. You can also change things up with a visit to Ponta Delgada, the capital of the Azores. Wander the cobbled streets and admire the various architectural styles, and maybe try some local seafood when you get hungry.
Meals: Breakfast -
Day 4
Faial Island / HortaEnjoy a free morning before your early afternoon flight to Horta, Faial Island. This island is sometimes referred to as ‘Blue Island’ because of the iconic blue hydrangeas dotted all around that bloom during summer. When you arrive, your leader will explain all this and more on an orientation walk. The rest of the day is free to explore the port town of Horta. You can chill out on the seafront or perhaps call into Cafe Sport (aka Peter’s Bar) for a famous G&T. This watering hole was once a crucial post office and gossip stop for travelling sailors in a pre-internet era. For some, it still is.
Meals: Breakfast -
Day 5
Pico Island / Faial Island / HortaHop on a ferry to Pico Island – the second- largest island in the Azores. Known as 'Black Island’ for its black volcanic earth, Pico is the proud home of UNESCO-designated vineyards that have played a major role in the community’s development. On your tour of the island, visit Arcos do Cachorro (lava tunnels), where you’ll learn more about its volcanic past. Then, call into a family-owned distillery for a tasting and discover their special techniques. Finish your tour at Criacao Velha for a stunning view of Pico's unique vineyards. After, you might like to head out for some optional whale watching. Up until 1980, the island supported a substantial whaling industry due to the deep waters of the surrounding Atlantic. Fortunately, the end of the industry means whale watching has become a popular activity for visitors. In the evening, return to Faial Island.
Meals: Breakfast -
Day 6
Faial Island / HortaGet your hiking boots on as you start the day on a walking trail in Horta. After, visit the island's resident volcano, Capelinhos. You’ll head to the volcano interpretation centre, as climbing up is not considered safe. Capelinhos last erupted in 1957 and changed the island permanently, adding an extra kilometre of land mass and blanketing the surrounding area with five metres of volcanic ash. You’ll learn more about this eruption and the most famous volcanoes in the world at the centre. For the rest of the day, you're free to explore as you wish.
Meals: Breakfast -
Day 7
Faial Island / HortaYour trip will come to an end after breakfast. For those who wish to stay in the Azores, reach out to your booking agent ahead of time to organise additional accommodation.
