Favourite ports & excursions on a transatlantic cruise

  • Ponta Delgada, Azores Head northeast from Ponta Delgada to Ribeira Grande to visit some significant monuments of the city and taste some local Portuguese liquors at a liquor shop. Drive on the winding mountain road to Lagoa do Fogo, and stop at Caldeira Velha, a little botanical garden with a waterfall and a small hot spring.
    The drive continues to Pico da Barrosa Mountain, to see nice views of the Fire Lake and also the landscape of the surroundings. Return to Ponta Delgada along the new road, descending towards Remedios da Lagoa with a stop at a pineapple plantation.
  • Dolphin interaction excursions
