Island Route

Explore the magic of Terceira Island on an unforgettable full day tour

Discover the magic of the so-called Island of Jesus Christ of Terceiras on an unforgettable tour! Start by crossing the heart of the island, with a stop at the Miradouro das Veredas for stunning panoramic views. Then cool off in the Biscoitos Natural Pools, a natural wonder formed by lava flows. Explore the serenity of Lagoa das Patas before heading west, passing the picturesque Miradouro das Doze Ribeiras and the charming fishing village of São Mateus.

On the south-east coast, enjoy the Cabras Islets and the beautiful bays of Salga and Mós before visiting the oldest church on the island in the village of São Sebastião and enjoying two marvellous viewpoints: Serra do Facho and Serra do Cume with views of the largest caldera in the Azores and its ‘Manta da Retalhos’. Try an exclusive cocktail* by the sea in Praia da Vitória and hike down the iconic Algar do Carvão, one of the world’s few visitable volcanoes, which will leave you speechless. This is Terceira Island as you’ve never seen it before: a paradise of natural landscapes and unique cultural experiences that will remain etched in your memory forever!
