Azores Portugal

Azores Islands Adventure Travel to the Azores, Portugal

Best time to visit: April-October

Best for: Families, Friends, Solo Travelers, and Couples

Escape to a destination that for now, is still relatively unknown: The Azores, Portugal. This group of nine islands, all volcanic in origin, is located only 4.5 hours from the east coast of the United States, in the middle of the wide-open Atlantic. Renowned for spectacular natural beauty, quaint seaside towns, and UNESCO protected vineyards, each of the three islands we will visit on this 7-day retreat has its own fascinating identity.

Discover these spectacular volcanic islands. Adventure through black lava fields, stunning vistas, and unique vineyards.

What to expect

Your journey to the Azores will include many unique experiences and opportunities to connect with the people and the culture of these islands. Most days will be filled with active exploration like hiking, biking, caving, kayaking and rappelling–all designed to give you full access to the unforgettable vistas on the islands. The trip also includes some “downtime” for personal reflection, relaxation by the pool or a rejuvenating massage. You will enjoy healthy, delicious and locally sourced meals. The tasty meal plan consists of chemical free food, fresh catch fish, lean meats, creative salads, fruits and whole grains. Any dietary restrictions can be accommodated.
