Itinerary
Volcanic peaks, whale-populated waters and emerald forests are your playground for this fun-filled adventure on São Miguel, the largest island in the Azores. Every day brings a new thrill: one moment you’re hiking volcanic highlands, the next you’re bathing in thermal pools, biking glorious trails or eating a lunch cooked underground by geothermal heat. Each activity takes you deeper into the natural beauty and rich history of the island, while your tour leader shares their unrivalled local insight for a truly immersive experience.
day 1Arrival in São Miguel
Begin your adventure in Ponta Delgada, the capital of São Miguel. Once a key port on transatlantic trade routes, today it’s a beautiful hub for our adventure with cobbled streets, ornate churches and harbour cafés to explore.
Around 6pm, say olá to your tour leader and fellow travellers when we gather as a group for the first time to get to know one another and hear more about the journey ahead. Your leader then ensures a warm Portuguese welcome by arranging a group dinner at a local restaurant.
