Discover
Two Islands
The capital of Terceira island, Angra do Heroismo, was designated a world heritage city by UNESCO in 1983, a classic example of 16th century town planning. But make no mistake, Terceira has just as breathtaking a country side as São Miguel.
After touring São Miguel, with its magnificent lakes and bustling capital city, Ponta Delgada, you can tour Terceira with its great vistas and traditional architecture. Both islands boast fine local cuisine and a myriad of activities, from whale watching, deep sea diving, golf, horseback riding, sports fishing, and more. Ask your travel agent for more details
Discover
Three Islands
Enjoy the natural beauty of the Azores times three! Each island has not only a unique natural beauty but a unique culture as well. Everything from architecture to cuisine is different on each islandThe Island of Faial is a must stop for all the big transatlantic yachts whose crews hang out at the world famous Peter’s Café. The Island of Pico is only short ferry boat away and derives its name from being the highest mountain in Portugal. From the bird watching in Pico to the big game fishing boats in Faial, culture in Terceira, there is much to see and do. Ask your travel agent for more details.
Golf
Golfing in the Azores is just an extension of the landscape. The golf courses are not little oases in the middle of an urban setting but rather they are a natural part of the scenery. It is almost hard to tell where the courses end and the environment begins since it all goes together so well.
Also included in your golf package are all the green fees, and access to the clubhouses with all the privileges of club membership in two golf courses on Sao Miguel. For more details please ask your travel agent and read the golf literature.
Golf packages can be combined with other activities. Non-golfing companions are welcome and can go at a reduced rate. Activities can be mixed and matched to suit everyone's taste and needs. Details on the courses can be found here.
