What people love about Walking Adventure Tours in Atlantic
- Walking in the Azores
Fantastic holiday, lots to see and take in. Great to see different islands as each had their own character and attributes.
- Canary Islands Walking - Gran Canaria
It was a great holiday with lovely participants and a wonderful tour leader and well thought out walks which enabled us to see much of Gran Canaria. The only issue was the unusually cold temperature in the evenings. None of us had taken enough warm clothes to stay comfortably warm eating outside at night. It might be worth an NB in the advice about clothing.

Tour itineraries span multiple locations based on the region. The Azores programs typically cover four islands: São Miguel São Jorge Pico and Faial.
