Activities

We suggest visiting the Cathedral, Duque da Terceira Garden and Fort of São Sebastião during a walk through the city. And if you would like to know more about the local culture and history, we suggest a visit to the Wine Museum, Casa dos Botes Baleeiros museum, Obelisk of Alto da Memória and the numerous churches and monuments spread around the city.

SEA LOVERS  The natural beauty of the island goes all the way to the sea and this is where you can spend some of the best moments during your stay. We would love to help you plan a dolphin or whale watching boat ride, a visit to the small islands or a ride where you can see the bottom of the ocean. And if you’re looking for a privateand personalized program you can contact us.

NATURE LOVERS Terceira has the biggest native forest in Azores, and it is known as the Lilac Island due to the heather plants that exist there. For those who feel like the best way to connect with nature is by walking and exploring the trails, there are many great options. We recommend the trails of Baía de Algualva, which is 2.49 miles long, or Rocha do Chambre, a bit more challenging since it’s 5.59 miles long.

ALTITUDE AND EMOTION Even though the island isn’t very big, its flora and fauna beauty are unparallel. Looking for the highest point with the best view is always a great adventure, lucky you it’s possible to find numerous viewpoints throughout the island. Close to the hotel one should visit Monte Brasil a Natural Park with walking trails and stunning sights. Also, a short drive away there’s Serra do Cume whith has a beautiful viewpoint onto the amazing landscape of the famous fields that look like a patchwork. There’s also the viewpoint of Laginha, where you can observe Ilhéus das Cabras, or even Facho viewpoint, that offers a panoramic view over the sea, the bay, and Praia da Vitória’s dock.

DEPTH AND TRANQUILITY In Azores, the ocean is our pool. A great way to spend the hot days is exploring the numerous natural pools of our island. The most beautiful natural pools of the island are in a place called Biscoitos. If you head south to Feteira, you can swim with a view onto small volcanic islands called Ilhéus das Cabras. Renting a car or a boat is the best option to explore all the other amazing parts of the island. Each pond or natural pool offer a natural beauty where you can cool down.

For Explorers For those who are very curious and love exploring, a visit to Algar do Carvão is a must see. This is one of the only two visitable sleeping volcanos in the world and is a magical and unique place.
