Azores Holidays


europe
The Azores, a volcanic archipelago of 9 unique islands, span over 370 miles within the Atlantic Ocean. Featuring breathtakingly dramatic scenery and charming oceanfront towns, Azores holidays offer a myriad of outdoor adventures, stunning viewpoints and warm and welcoming hospitality.

From the vibrant yet charming capital of Ponta Delgada, located on São Miguel Island, boasting a buzzing bar and restaurant scene, to the wild landscape of Pico Island dominated by it’s namesake volcano, the Azores are rich in culture and outstanding natural beauty.

A haven for wildlife enthusiasts, the Azores feature some of the best whale watching opportunities in the world, the surrounding ocean home to residents including sperm and humpback whales as well as migrating species.

Trailfinders offers a range of Azores holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore these phenomenal islands on a fly drive holiday, join a sociable guided group tour, or are looking for advice on how to combine the Azores with Madeira or Lisbon on a multi centre holiday – they are the perfect people to ask.
