AZORES
"HAWAII OF THE MID-ATLANTIC"
JULY 21-27, 2026
Let's immerse ourselves in the island's magical landscapes - crater lakes, lush forests, volcanic beaches, and soothing hot springs!
This is an adventure, so get ready for hikes, swims, waterfalls, hot springs, volcanos and fresh fish!
Join myself and Vicki for 6 nights/7 days as we adventure to the breathtaking island of São Miguel, the "Green Island" of the Azores. An unforgettable retreat designed to reconnect you with nature, your inner self, and a community of like-minded travellers.
This getaway is a heartfelt journey to Vicki's homeland. With deep roots and cherished memories woven into every corner of the island. Vicki is excited to share the places, flavours, and experiences that have shaped her. From lush landscapes to the warmth of local culture, this is a personal invitation to experience São Miguel through her eyes. A celebration of everything she loves about this magical place.
