Good azores tours fill up weeks ahead; the great ones go first. Below: the 6 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
1-hour small-group speedboat tour around Ilhéu de Vila Franca do Campo with close views, stories, and free snorkel gear if conditions allow.
“Very nice and professional team. It was a good feeling to get very close to the rocks and listen to the interesting facts. Special thanks for having a local guide tell us about the island! We had a fantastic experience!”
Biologist-guided electric e-boat tour around Vila Franca Islet in the Azores. Quiet, 0% carbon cruise with geology, wildlife, and stories.
“It was well worth it. Tour was very informative and interesting story about Vila Franca. Alex was a super nice guide! totally enjoyed the whole trip.”
Canyoning at Salto do Cabrito on São Miguel: guided rappels, waterfalls, optional zip-line, and optional jumps, for about 4 hours.
“I can’t find the words to explain how amazing the whole activity was. It’s not for the faint hearted but for those who seek adventure and adrenaline. Myself and my son had an amazing time today! Meet our guides at the meet up point then followed them to the location where we got changed and started hiking to the start point. The landscape is amazing, the waters are clear and the waterfalls are stunning! Definitely worth every penny. Hopefully we’ll be back for more adventures next time in Azores”
4WD off-road adventure from Ponta Delgada to Lagoa do Fogo, Ribeira Grande geothermal sites, and Salto do Cabrito, with a town stop and liqueurs.
“Excellent experience with breathtaking views and sites. Our guide, Felipe, was incredibly knowledgeable and personable, which only added to the fantastic experience. Definitely a must-do for any Sao Miguel visiter.”
Full-day small-group tour on São Miguel hitting Sete Cidades, Lagoa do Fogo, Salto do Cabrito, big viewpoints, and a hearty lunch.
“Excellent! Filipe was an excellent guide, so knowledgeable and so welcoming. We saw so many sites, never felt rushed. Lunch was an incredible assortment of options of a buffet, topped off with a wonderful dessert.”
Go beyond Faial Island by boat to see the Capelinhos volcano from sea level, plus caves, cliffs, bays, and possible dolphins and whales.
“Dit was de leukste ervaring sinds we op de Azoren zijn. De gids, Kamila is de meest enthousiaste en innemende gids die ik ooit heb gezien. Ze vertelde met zoveel plezier alles over het eiland Faial, de kust, vulkanen en bezienswaardigheden vanaf het water. Met de boot kom je op plekken waar je anders vanaf land nooit kan komen. Er absolute aanrader om deze tour te boeken!”
Pick the coast, the wine, the water or the walk.
