Azores Awake, A Mindful Experience

02 / Experiences

Private Tours & Experiences

Private guides, small boats and vehicles reserved for you alone. No group schedules, no queues, no scripted commentary.

The approach

We work with a short list of Azorean guides, skippers and biologists we have travelled with ourselves. Days move at your pace: leave at first light for the crater rim, stop when the sky opens, stay longer where you want to.

Experiences range from a half day on São Miguel to multi-island journeys with whale watching, volcanic walks, wine tastings and dinners in places that do not take walk-ins.

Highlights

How this translates into practice.

Whales & dolphins

Private boat with a marine biologist on board, Atlantic season permitting.

Pico wine country

Lava-walled vineyards, cellar tastings and the volcano at your shoulder.

Furnas kitchen

Cozido cooked in volcanic soil, thermal gardens, tea plantation in the afternoon.
