Editor’s take Roman Antonov · 6 best hiking tours in the Azores, choice 4 of 6
I'd book this if you want several short walks. Pure Azores links them by electric van. Adult tickets start at €85. Allow 8 hours.
You walk at Moinho do Felix and Salto do Cabrito. A picnic lunch is included. You can swim at Praia da Viola when conditions allow.
I'd plan around the pickup times. Pickup covers Ponta Delgada and Ribeira Grande. Allow up to 20 minutes for pickups in Ponta Delgada. Bottled water isn't included.
