About the trip

This tour begins in Porto, where maritime history meets narrow medieval streets and you gain early access to Livraria Lello, a bookshop famed for its stained-glass skylight and curving wooden staircases. After time to appreciate the city's port wine cellars and a tuk-tuk ride along the riverfront, the journey moves inland to the Douro Valley. Here, you join a cooking class on a traditional quinta and savour wine tastings in vineyards overlooking terraced hills.

The route then flies to São Miguel Island in the Azores. Dramatic volcanic calderas like Sete Cidades and Algar do Carvão offer stark expanses of old lava flows and crater lakes, while whale watching near Ponta Delgada combines binoculars and biology during a private sortie led by an expert marine biologist. Local community visits and open-fire lunches reveal a region shaped by the Atlantic and its isolation.

Operated by G Adventures as a small-group journey, this holiday balances guided activities with moments of free time, letting those interested roam cobbled streets or quiet viewpoints at their own pace. Travellers appreciate the blend of Portuguese mainland culture with the striking natural features and traditions of the mid-Atlantic islands.
