FULL TOUR PROGRAM

Fly from Lisbon to São Miguel Island.
Just over an hour in the sky and you're already breathing in the ocean air and anticipating an exciting adventure. Hotel accommodation, a few formalities and, finally, relaxation, acquaintance and warm communication.

In the evening, in the sunset, you will plunge into the warm water of the ocean, which is heated by volcanic springs. The experience is unreal.

DAY 9 "CLIMBING"
The holidays are coming to an end, but the journeys don't end.
Our friendly bunch will be heading to Piku Island. Ready to challenge yourself? Then you'll climb Mount Piku, which is 2351 metres high.
We will climb 1,000 metres and you will be rewarded with breathtaking views and unadulterated mountain air. The walk will take the whole day (4-4,5 hours for ascent and 3,5 hours for descent).
If you want to finish your break in a relaxed way, go for a bike ride or an island excursion. Believe me, the beauty at the foot of the island is no less breathtaking.

DAY 10 "FAREWELL PARTY"
That's it! Slow down and relax. Taste the local wines, stroll through the UNESCO World Heritage vineyards. Leaf through the photos, share your emotions and dream of a new journey.
DAY 11 "FLIGHT TO LISBON"
We don't say goodbye, we say "See you soon!"
How is the journey going?
The tour is ideal for those who adore nature, want to get away from the noise of the metropolis and take a break from the hustle and bustle. There will be no 60-person bus and no roll-call after every stop.
We travel in a group of up to 8 people: close-minded, adventurous and energetic. You yourself will create an atmosphere of comfort and ease of communication.
The trip is well thought out in every detail: excursions, walks, adventures and tastings. But be prepared for the vagaries of nature. You can see all the seasons in one day. And believe me, you can bend the plan for the sake of it. Where else in Europe will you look into the eyes of nature?

And what a choice of hotels: comfortable and each with its own memorable atmosphere (honestly, I remember everything!).

Feedback from Elizaveta Khomkina
I would like to thank Elena for a perfectly organised trip to Thailand. She chose very interesting holiday destinations, we visited three islands and explored them up and down, which was very interesting. We managed to swim and explore the beaches which were difficult to access (by canoe). All the excursions were individually tailored to my interests and price category, which can't help but please. The hotels were comfortable, I advise everyone! I am sure we will contact Elena more than once!

A friendly travel club is a group of like-minded people. If you end up on the same tour, you already have a lot in common. Before you buy a tour, we tell you all the details. Don't doubt that only those who are ready for adventure and companionship will be there for you.
The most unpleasant situation is illness. We will go to the hospital in no time. There are good hospitals and doctors on the islands. Insurance will help save money for treatment.
And, of course, the vagaries of the weather. It may be storm or rain then you will have to change plans and rearrange itinerary, change the order of excursions, etc.
Therefore we have an alternative interesting programme for each tour.
Contact the organiser via What's app or the feedback form on the website. Our tours can be purchased as a gift.
Absolutely! We'll tell you where the best meat is and where it's vegetarian heaven. We'll tell you how to have a great night out: hang out in a bar or play games in a big group. We have lots of ideas. You won't get bored.
