Discover Adventure in the Azores

If you’re looking for a diving holiday with plenty of adventure above and below the water then take a look at the Azores.

Located just three and half hours flight from the UK, the nine emerald islands that form the mid-Atlantic Azores archipelago are also an ideal getaway for those who don’t want to travel far.

The Azores are famous for their amazing underwater topography - labyrinthine tunnels, canyons and arches which have been etched out by lava streams over the centuries. Divers can hope to encounter at least 25 different pelagic species including blue and mako sharks, spotted, bottlenose and Risso’s dolphins, turtles, rays, and even whale sharks. Beaked whales, sperm whales, humpbacks and false killer whales can also be spotted from the surface.

Back on land, divers can immerse themselves in the rich cultural heritage of the islands. Each island has its own unique charm but share a common accent on adventure. Climb volcanoes, cycle or hike through picturesque landscapes, take to the water on a whale watching trip, or explore World Heritage sites. Relax your muscles in bubbling hot springs, and enjoy delicious local cuisine.

Regaldive offer holidays to the islands of Sao Miguel, Pico, Terceira and Santa Maria during the May – October season when the best diving conditions can be found. The Azores are particularly well suited to twin centre island combinations and with flexible scheduled and charter flights available, we can plan your trip to get the most out of this exciting destination. Prices start from £583pp for a seven night package including flights, accommodation and transfers.
