Overview
Azorean culture meets Azorean adventure on our Terceira Family Holiday.
Perhaps more than any other island, the ‘third’ island of Terceira has a knack for preserving and celebrating Azorean island culture. Much of its UNESCO-protected architecture hails from a time when the Azores were at the centre of Portugal’s vast maritime empire. This ‘golden age’ is also reflected in the island’s cuisine, and you’ll often find Terceirans favour herbs and spices which don’t appear in recipes on the other islands.
Our Terceira Family Holiday is a great introduction to the Azores and will show you the best the island has to offer. Your week includes a whale and dolphin watching from Angra marina, a chance to kayak in the calm waters of Praia da Vitoria bay, and you’ll explore the island’s extraordinary volcanic landmarks on foot and by bike. Our resident guides Tiago and Isabel are proud of their island home, and they’ll give you a fascinating insight into the landscapes, plants, animals, and history of Terceira.
Your home for the week is a lava stone cottage at Pico da Vigia on the rural south coast. It’s a lovely, family friendly spot, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the neighbouring island of Sao Jorge. We’ll include a hire car during your stay and the bustling capital Angra de Heroismo is just a short drive away – and if you’d prefer a hotel stay in Angra or if you’d like a holiday from driving, it’s easy for us to personalise your holiday.
