No. This package is built around guided tours and airport transfers, so you do not need to drive. If you want a car for your free time, the Azores Getaways team can add one on any island. Most rental cars are manual; automatic cars are limited and should be requested in advance. Ride-sharing apps are not available in the Azores, but taxis are available on every island except Corvo.

Tours are planned on most days, and you have free time on each island. In Horta, walk along the marina, where sailors leave paintings on the walls, and stop at Peter Café Sport. In Angra do Heroísmo, walk up to the Alto da Memória viewpoint and the Duque da Terceira garden. On your free day on São Miguel, visit the Portas da Cidade in Ponta Delgada or the Gorreana Tea Plantation. The Azores Getaways team can book extra tours, such as whale watching, before you travel.

The Azores are mild all year. In summer, days average 24°C to 26°C (75°F to 79°F). Spring and autumn average 17°C to 21°C (63°F to 70°F), good for sightseeing with fewer visitors. Winter stays mild at 14°C to 16°C (57°F to 61°F), with more rain. The weather can change quickly on all three islands, so bring a light rain jacket in any season.

No. City taxes are not included and are paid directly at the hotel, at check-in or check-out. The amount depends on the town and the hotel, and the hotel reception can tell you the exact value.

The package price is based on two travelers sharing a room, so a single supplement applies for solo travelers. To see the solo price, change the number of guests from 2 to 1 in the booking calendar before selecting See Dates and Prices, or contact the Azores Getaways team.

Yes. The Azores Getaways team can add nights on any of the three islands, for example more time in Ponta Delgada at the end, or add another island such as São Jorge or Pico for an overnight stay. Changes depend on flight and hotel availability, and the price is updated before you confirm.
