Thanks a lot! Any tips for a traveller without a driving licence, i.e. would you say one could still enjoy for instance Sao Miguel combining using the public transport + walking/hiking/hitchhiking? Thanks :)
Very informative video. A lot of pertinent information and great location shots of some of the highlights. I was born in the Azores, but lived in Canada pretty well all my life. I have travelled all of the mainland of Portugal, northern, central and southern. All very fascinating. Now I am starting with islands. I have done São Miguel twice and Terceira once. Time to cover the remaining 7 islands and then I can say I have seen a whole country.
@jorgevalentin Thank you for your comment and support! For some reason, your comment disappeared. But you are definitely right, whale watching is definitely an important thing in the Azores!
I really liked your video and the subjects you went in to. All those travel influencers with their beautiful shots don't actually tell and explain things. Loved the way you did it, thanks!
Same my gf and I consider going this summer, and this is the first video thet gives real information not just staged photos and product placement for bar and restaurants.
I really appreciate your video. Great information. Question about your 3 apps: I do not find Azores Trails. Maybe it’s been removed. I am a hiker and would love an app for hiking these islands . Any guidance on this?
What island would you recommend if you are only there for 7-9 days ? what islands ? should we go for 1-2 islands ? or what you recommend ? July ish are we doing love water and natur :) is our 30ish :) I do some diving too.
@@Seedsofdiscovery What about diving do you know if there is any good diving center ? where on Sao miguel would you recommend living ? for 8 days ? Is it soo long just to stay there for all days ? quite a long way to jump to a new island. Thankts for fast reply!
@@devel-rh6hy Unfortunately, I am not into diving so Ive never really checked for good spots. Ponta Delgada is nice otherwise Ribeira Grande and maybe Furnas are good to book smth. If you want to do a quick jump for a day or two, Santa Maria is next by.
Portugal as a whole has become quite expensive. Usually during winter months it is cheaper. Otherwise, reaching out to local agencies could be an option. There is a price for locals which is quite cheaper than for foreigners
The local products in here indeed very good. It's hard for me to buy something that not made around here. Most of us very traditional but open minded to try other products from around world. It's been a good journey for me around wine in Pico for example. Was not expecting it and it's been really cool. Let's see what's next 😄. Thank you and see you soon.
Hi, i enjoyed your video very much, very informative. I will be going in May for 14 days for my first time. Arriving in Sao Miguel from Montreal. Where do you suggest i stay on the island? Ponta Delgada or Sete Citades or Ribera Grande? We will be renting a car. We are not very urban people but we do not want to be too secluded. Any advise? Oh and we might go to one of the islands for 3 or 4 days. Thank you. I will be looking for more videos on the Azores
Thank you! Ponta Delgada or Ribeira Grande would be the most convenient. There aren't many hotels in Sete Citades and it may be a long trip to reach the eastern side of the island. None of these 2 cities is big but Ribeira Grande is definitely more like a small countryside city. I would say go to Faial, it is very nice as a base and you can take the ferry to Pico or Sao Jorge
Be careful about choosing a place to stay in Ponta Delgada and Ribeira Grande. Since COVID we have a big problem with drugs and some streets it's crazy. And sad! Always read the reviews.
I have been in springtime and in late fall. I was very fortunate with weather. We had an umbrella but with a rental car we really did not have much use for it. Summers are very hot and humid and very congested with tourism but the best time for use of beaches and all the festivals and feasts happen during the summer months.
American people are seeking the places where are the peaceful and including meaningful activities. They are sometimes trying to cheat the United States of America with these leisures. Also you can come to Portugal too because Portugal is one of the safest and peaceful country in the world. /Os americanos procuram os locais onde há paz e onde se realizam actividades significativas. Por vezes, tentam enganar os Estados Unidos da América com estes lazeres. Também pode vir a Portugal, porque Portugal é um dos países mais seguros e pacíficos do mundo.
Were these tips useful? Let me know if I have forgotten anything important!

@@PetreLou Hi! Unfortunately I haven't used public transportation much so I wouldn't be of much help!

Thank you so much! It seems to still exist but it may be the your iOs doesn't support it? I had an iphone back in the days so it may be the reason?!
@@Seedsofdiscovery Ah, thanks. Yes, I do have an iphone. And I appreciate your reply.
Our islands are beautiful I was born in Terceira but they all unique .Paradise in the middle of the Atlantic

In that amount of time I would say, stick to Sao Miguel.

Thank you!
Went for 7 days in January, did not rain for a single moment. I was lucky!! 17-19C by day. 14-16C by night.
Lucky!
Boas informações! But there is no ferries from São Miguel to Santa Maria anymore. Since COVID.
That’s good to know! I’ve not come back in a while, so I was just hoping it had resumed!
I am interested in digital nomading on a visit to the Azores but how can I find an alternative to expensive AirBnB?
Portugal as a whole has become quite expensive. Usually during winter months it is cheaper. Otherwise, reaching out to local agencies could be an option. There is a price for locals which is quite cheaper than for foreigners
Do you have a local agency that you recommend? We would like to stay in guesthouses for our stay in the summer !
@@lismail14 Unfortunately I don't! But good luck and let us know if you find a good one!

Do you recommend going to the Azores in March?
For sure! Less tourists then and the weather is ok!
I have been in springtime and in late fall. I was very fortunate with weather. We had an umbrella but with a rental car we really did not have much use for it. Summers are very hot and humid and very congested with tourism but the best time for use of beaches and all the festivals and feasts happen during the summer months.
Can go for whale watching during October?
You can see whales all year long but different species migrate at different times. During winter it is mostly sperm whales I believe.
