Portugal · AZORES TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 azores tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Circle Vila Franca do Campo Islet by small boat, hear its volcanic story, spot sea life, and snorkel near the rocks for $24.
“Pedro and Dominick were great—very friendly and informative! The tour had great views as well.”
Ride from Ponta Delgada to Sete Cidades by buggy, with crater views, dirt trails, local stories, and a small group led by Pedro.
“One of the most fun and exciting things we have ever done, our guide was the man and absolutely a pleasure.”
Circle Vila Franca Islet by Zodiac RIB with a biologist guide, volcanic views, wildlife, and local history in a compact 50-minute boat tour.
“The guide explained a lot of interesting things about nature as well as some history. We got great, really close up views of the island.”
Take a boat from Flores to Corvo for caves, waterfalls, wildlife, village time, and the Caldeirão crater, with skipper Hugo Costa.
“Hugo was an excellent guide and the tour of the waterfalls and caves was amazing. The ride to Corvo was a little bumpy but he did a great job minimizing the bumps on a windy day. I would caution that this tour isn’t a great option if you get easily sea sick (take meds in advance) or aren’t that adventurous. Also be aware that is the weather is bad the caldera may be socked in and too windy to hike and there isn’t a huge amount else to do on the island.”
Pick a coastline, a cellar or a cave.
