In addition to its pristine natural surroundings, Azores is dotted with a number of charming towns to visit. When in Azores the visitors have a lot on their to-do list.

Sight seeing

The romantic towns of Azores top the must see places list in the island. As you walk through the ancient streets of Santa Graciosa you feel like visiting the past of these towns and what transpired in the creaky manor houses that line along these lanes. Visit the vibrant local yachting community of Horta, famous for its yacht harbour. Admire the beautiful tiles and gilded carvings of the 17th century churches of São Salvador, Nossa Senhora do Carmo and São Francisco and Angra do Heroismo.

Whale Watching

The natural environment of the Azores coast provides a sheltered breeding ground for the whale. The area houses more than twenty species of whales and dolphins, including Pilot, Sperm, Fin and False Killer whales. Be awed by the sight of these 40-ton creatures with boat rides out to the sea.

Golf

Try your hands at golf on the well-manicured greens of Azores. Deep Sea Fishing

Indulge in big game fishing in 300 to 800 metres deep waters of Azores only two to three km off the coast. These waters offer a natural habitat for swordfish, sharks, oceanic bream and tuna. The specially equipped fishing boats available at Ponta Delgada cruise as far as the Formigas islets
