Overview

Explore historic Terceira and the epic landscapes of Sao Jorge on our island hopping holiday.

You’ll begin your stay in Terceira’s capital Angra de Heroismo: a charmingly-diminutive city with UNESCO-protected architecture and delightful Azorean restaurants. It’s also one of the best-connected cities in the Azores, with direct flights from Sao Miguel, Lisbon, Boston and Toronto. You’ll head to sea on a whale and dolphin watching trip from the local marina, and you’ll have a chance to explore the island’s volcanic landscapes on a jeep tour with our resident guide.

Leaving Terceira, you’ll fly to the nearby island of Sao Jorge for three nights in Velas: the island’s main harbour town. You’ll tour the island once again with our local guide, with time to relax with a swim in the Piscinas Naturales: Sao Jorge’s coastline has some of the best natural seawater swimming pools in the Azores.
