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.

When is the best time to go on a Walking Adventure tour in the Atlantic region?
The Atlantic region offers distinct walking seasons across its destinations. The Azores sees its best walking conditions from May to September with clear weather and good visibility. Travelers on TourRadar often highlight June saying "views from Monte Brasil over Angra do Heroismo were spectacular." Madeira works well year-round thanks to its mild climate but spring from March to May brings out colorful wildflowers along the trails. Places like Hotel Azoris Faial Garden in Horta and Hotel Quinta Splendida in Madeira welcome walkers throughout the year.
What fitness level is required for Atlantic Walking Adventure tours?
Atlantic Walking Adventures suit people who can handle 4-6 hours of daily walking at a leisurely to moderate pace. The Azores features walks between 5km and 15km per day with elevation changes of 250-650m. A TourRadar participant noted "The walks were all well thought out and appropriate for the grading. Some walks had challenging sections but our guide was very supportive." Beginners often start with gentler routes like the Furnas Valley walk in São Miguel or the coastal paths of Faial.

How many different islands/locations will I visit on an Atlantic Walking Adventure?
Tour itineraries span multiple locations based on the region. The Azores programs typically cover four islands: São Miguel São Jorge Pico and Faial.

Walking routes across the Atlantic islands present natural encounters with local wildlife. The Azores offers glimpses of sperm whales from coastal paths and native birds in forest areas.
