Azores Walking Holiday São Miguel Taxi Transfer – 7 nights

Explore the sights and discover the natural beauty of these incredible islands at your very own pace.

Trail Walking Holiday

With our taxi transfer option, the walks are mostly linear – a driver will drop you off at the start of each walk and pick you up later that day.  Your walks vary from 6km to 12km (2 to 5 hours) visiting an abandoned village and up to a stunning waterfall, along a pretty south coast path and a spectacular walk down from the Fire Lake, the Azores’ wildest crater lake.
