Does this trip take into consideration and accommodate someone whose mobility is aided with a cane when walking? Also can I purchase travel insurance for "cancellation for Any reason"? What hotels will we be staying at? Are all transfers and Air included or do they need to be booked separately?

This package is rated 2 out of 5 in regards to physical activity. It is a semi organized package therefore, you will have plenty of time at leisure and go at your own pace. For the excursions included, there is a few kms of walking a day with breaks in between however, you can also opt out if you feel it is too much. We do highly suggest to get travel insurance, therefore, you can purchase this separately through a 3rd party if you wish. The hotel included in this package is at the Sao Miguel Park 4* hotel (or similar) in a standard room. All the transfer are included within the package however, we do not include the international flights. You would have to purchase these separately on your own.

I want to visit a few island on the Azores for 8 to 10 days. That can be anytime after may 13 , 2025 or after June 12, 2025. Also, I might consider a small rental in an interesting island for another week.

At the moment, we have uploaded prices until March 2025, we are working on the next dates. Regarding the itinerary, the tour stays in Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel for 7 nights since it is the biggest island of the archipelago. It offers a great variety of scenery as well as a beautiful flora and marine life. You could continue your exploration under your own arrangements and book accommodations on the other islands for an additional 3-4 days to complete your tour of the Azores. We are not able to include rentals or B & B type of accommodations.

Is it possible to join this trip as a single person, or are there only families and groups which join this trip?

We have travellers of all ages booking this tour, couples and solo travelers. At this point, availability is limited, I do recommend booking as soon as possible.

do you have any tour on september ? or only on October ? how's the weather will be ? raining a lot or no ?

We have 5 departures in September: every Friday. Simply select the date you prefer and complete the booking! Regarding the weather, September is one of the best times to visit the Azores as there are less tourists and still a very enjoyable temperature. There could be a few rains but since fall starts by the end of the months but it will not impact your tour.

We are contemplating this tour of the Azores. One question we have: my wife has Celiac disease and want to be assured that the breakfasts at the hotel have gluten free options for her. In addition, the lunch that we have on the trip to Furnas, we would like to ensure that it has some gluten free options as well.

Yes, Linda will have gluten free options at the hotel for the breakfasts and we will also inform the restaurant for the included meal in the Furnas area.

I Will not use Wingbuddy again. This was a poorly organized trip and reflects badly on the company's overall ability to function during less than ideal situations. I had difficulty setting up the actual tour. I was not given any specifics until 3 days after payment was made on first contact. There were hidden airline costs that arose once I had booked. The Whale Watching tour was cancelled because of weather conditions and safety concerns. However, Wingbuddy did not have a plan 'B' in place to cover the vacant time. Instead, it was given as a free day without any thought to compensation. As well, the thermal baths in Furnas were closed because of the end-of-season maintenance. This is a yearly scheduled occurrence that Wingbuddy should have been on top of and offered a solution: another thermal bath location. When asked about compensation for the two cancellations, the run-around happened: call the Whale watching company, etc., etc. Also, there was no one answering the emergency line. The Hotel was great. The guide for the 2 1/2 day tours and 1 full day tour was very nice, so was the van driver.Show more

Our guide in Pnta Delgada was excellent. He was pleasant and acclimating and added in enroute things that he thought we would like and he was right on. Actually one place was one of the best places seeing, comparing volcanic area. The Picos. Excellent. He adjusted the order and so happy he did. We did the tea place and left the bathing in thermal waters til the end. I would not have wanted to go anywhere after thatShow more

My husband and I were so impressed with the whole experience provided by Wingbuddy. The communication during our trip was amazing. Our whale watching tour was rescheduled due to weather and there was a letter left for us at the front desk. There was not a time when we were unsure as to what was happening. Our tour guide was amazing and despite the weather did his absolute best to make sure we saw all of the sights. Even finding time to revisit certain spots on another day when the weather was good. Our accommodations were a fantastic and provided breakfast was fresh and plentiful. The location of the hotel was perfect, right in the heart of the city. We walked everywhere! We definitely will book again with Wingbuddy. Thank you for such a great holiday.Show more
