Azores Island Adventure
Experience the natural beauty of the Azores Islands as well as the culturally rich capital of Portugal, Lisbon. This trip is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and history lovers!
Experience the natural beauty of the Azores Islands as well as the culturally rich capital of Portugal, Lisbon. The trip will visit three of the nine islands: São Miguel, Faial, and Pico. Each picturesque island is distinctly different with magnificent landscapes, mouth-watering foods, and exciting outdoor activities to enjoy. Hike along volcanic calderas, take to the sea for a whale watching excursion, relax in thermal springs and warm oceanic pools, kayak in volcanic crater lakes, explore lava caves, and marvel at the highest mountain in Portugal, Mount Pico. With barely 5% of its land developed, the Azores are a must-see locale for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. After this amazing outdoor adventure, we will visit the beautiful capital of Portugal, Lisbon, to experience the history and culture that makes Portugal so special.
