Could have been (should have) a day or two longer. I think there is enough to see in Ponta Delgada to justify a day there. Also, I would like to see the tour end where it starts. In Ponta Delgada.

Fantastic trip! Each island is gorgeous in its own way. Our guide,Tania, knows the islands and all the trails and restaurants like the back of her hand. She led our group with kindness and humor. And our fellow travelers couldn’t have been more fun. The Explore staff is also very supportive and easy to work with.
