About the trip

This G Adventures small-group tour journeys through the Azores’ islands of Terceira and São Miguel over six nights. It begins in Angra do Heroísmo, where an orientation walk introduces the town’s historic centre and a private visit inside the Angra Museum offers a closer look at local culture. Terceira’s volcanic features also take centre stage with an exploration of the Algar do Carvão lava caves and a viewpoint over Monte Brasil caldera.

In Ponta Delgada, the focus shifts to the waters around São Miguel with a private whale watching excursion alongside a marine biologist, lending scientific perspective to the cetacean sightings. Visits to vineyards grown in volcanic soil, as well as a cooperative supporting community rehabilitation, provide opportunities to connect with the islands’ human stories. Geothermal springs in Parque Terra Nostra invite relaxation amid the volcanic terrain.

Throughout, expert guides provide context on geography, history and conservation, with included meals and transfers smoothing logistics. It’s travel that speaks quietly of volcanic activity shaping both landscape and culture across the Azores archipelago.
