Island-hop through the Azores on a guided walking adventure across Pico, São Jorge and Faial, from UNESCO-listed vineyards to the Caldeira crater, with an optional Mount Pico summit.


During our week in the Azores, we split our time between a trio of three- and four-star hotels. Below are the accommodations typically used on this walking adventure.
Upgrade to a sea-view room on Day 6 and Day 7 of the itinerary – speak to your sales representative for more details.
Pico: Hotel Caravelas (nights 1-3)
Begin the adventure at Hotel Caravelas, in the heart of Madalena town. This 137-room accommodation is a short walk from the bustling marina, but also has a lounger-lined outdoor pool should you wish to relax. There’s also a bar, which serves the local Pico wine, plus a sauna and gym.
São Jorge: Hotel São Jorge Garden (nights 4-5)
Spend two nights in this seafront property, which has spectacular views over the Atlantic to Mount Pico. It also has a swimming pool with sun loungers and is just a five-minute walk from the town centre, where you will find a selection of restaurants.
Faial: Hotel Faial Garden (nights 6-7)
For our final two nights, we either stay at Hotel do Canal or Hotel Faial Garden (above). Each has been chosen for its excellent location, warm welcome and comfortable rooms. When it's time to unwind, Faial Garden has a swimming pool, while Do Canal has a sauna, Turkish bath, and Jacuzzi.
Worth knowing
Standard double rooms at Hotel Caravelas and Hotel São Jorge Garden have twin beds pushed together. There is a limited number of ‘true’ double rooms available for a supplement. Please speak to your sales representative if you wish to secure a true double room.
