Our first contact with Natour actually started some time ago, when we were looking into hiking the GR131 on Gran Canaria. We got in touch with Bel\u00e9n and immediately had a very positive impression of Natour and the way they work. Eventually, we changed our plans from Gran Canaria to Tenerife and we are very happy that we decided to organise this trip with Natour. They arranged everything around the hike: our accommodations, luggage transport from one hotel to the next, and transfers to and from the start and finish points of the different stages. Everything worked perfectly, allowing us to simply focus on hiking and enjoying Tenerife. What really stood out was their flexibility. On several days we finished our hike much earlier than the estimated time, sometimes almost two hours early. It was never a problem. We simply got in touch, Natour contacted the taxi company, and our pickup was moved forward. No hassle, no complicated arrangements just quick, friendly and practical service. Exactly what you want after a long day of hiking! We previously organised our GR131 hikes on Lanzarote and Fuerteventura completely ourselves, including all accommodations and logistics. Having now experienced how easy and enjoyable Natour makes this, we already know that we will use them again for the remaining islands. Gran Canaria, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Palma are still on our GR131 list and Natour will definitely be our first choice to organise them. A huge thank you to Miguel, Bel\u00e9n and everyone involved for the excellent organisation, personal contact and incredible flexibility. We couldn&#039;t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended for anyone planning a hiking trip in the Canary Islands!<!-- R-CONTENT --><\/div> <span class=\"ti-read-more\" data-container=\".ti-review-content\" data-collapse-text=\"Hide\" data-open-text=\"Read more\" ><\/span> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-review-item source-Google ti-image-layout-thumbnail\" data-platform-page-url=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/search\/?api=1&amp;query=Google&amp;query_place_id=ChIJO1IWxQDsawwRLGz2EUIUYbE\" data-time=\"1786957371\" data-id=\"84eddf347db7b2cf99cc902b5253efd0\" data-language=\"en\" data-rating=\"5.0\" data-max-rating=\"5\" > <div class=\"ti-inner\"> <div class=\"ti-review-header\"> <div class=\"ti-platform-icon ti-with-tooltip\"> <span class=\"ti-tooltip\">Posted on Google<\/span> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/icon.svg\" alt=\"Google\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-profile-img\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocKAIOpvf-OEQx0KBK5BWZF3Gay2O5VMtwtkzEMsd6v_t5Nk9Q=w40-h40-c-rp-mo-br100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocKAIOpvf-OEQx0KBK5BWZF3Gay2O5VMtwtkzEMsd6v_t5Nk9Q=w80-h80-c-rp-mo-br100 2x\" alt=\"Ben Eley profile picture\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <\/div> <div class=\"ti-profile-details\"> <div class=\"ti-name\"> Ben Eley <\/div> <div class=\"ti-date\">August 17, 2026<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <span class=\"ti-stars\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star f skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 1\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star f skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 2\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star f skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 3\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star f skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 4\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ti-star f skip-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.trustindex.io\/assets\/platform\/Google\/star\/f.svg\" alt=\"Google star 5\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/span> <div class=\"ti-review-text-container ti-review-content\"><!-- R-CONTENT -->Natour were fast, efficient and friendly from the start.

id=\"faq-1\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why choose the Azores for a walking holiday?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Because nothing else in Europe feels like this: nine volcanic islands in the middle of the Atlantic, 1,300 km from the mainland, where crater lakes, steaming fumaroles and impossibly green landscapes meet an ocean horizon in every direction. Often called \"the Hawaii of Europe\", the Azores remain refreshingly uncrowded \u2014 no mass tourism, no queues on the trails, just raw Atlantic nature and welcoming island villages.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Which walking programmes do you offer in the Azores?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Three 8-day trips: the circumnavigation of Santa Maria Island as a refuge-to-refuge trek (69.5 km, 5 stages, from \u20ac747); S\u00e3o Miguel with its volcanoes, geothermal lakes and waterfalls (71.7 km, 6 routes, from \u20ac1,115); and the two-island circuit S\u00e3o Miguel &amp; Santa Maria (67.2 km, 6 routes, from \u20ac1,295), with the inter-island flight included and standard or superior hotel options.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How does the refuge-to-refuge trek around Santa Maria work?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It's a genuine point-to-point adventure \u2014 rare on Atlantic islands: you walk the coastal trail right around the island over 5 stages, sleeping in shared refuges alongside walkers from around the world, in the spirit of the great hut-to-hut treks. We still take care of the logistics: your luggage is transferred between refuges, you navigate with our offline GPS app, and our local support is a phone call away.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is the flight between the islands included?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes. On the S\u00e3o Miguel &amp; Santa Maria circuit, the short inter-island flight is included in the price, along with accommodation with breakfast, luggage transfers and GPS navigation. All you need to arrange is your international flight to the Azores.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-5\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How do I get to the Azores?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>More easily than most people expect: Ponta Delgada (S\u00e3o Miguel) receives year-round flights from Lisbon and Porto with onward connections worldwide, plus seasonal direct services from several European cities \u2014 and even from the US East Coast, making the Azores one of the few European trails easily reached from both sides of the Atlantic. Full arrival directions come with your travel documentation.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-6\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">When is the best time to walk in the Azores?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>April to October: mild temperatures (15\u201325\u00b0C), long days and the lowest chance of rain \u2014 and Santa Maria, the sunniest and driest island of the archipelago, delivers even more blue-sky days than the rest. Winter is green but wet, and better avoided for a walking trip.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-7\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What's the weather really like? What should I pack?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Famously changeable \u2014 the Azoreans say you can get four seasons in one day. Pack a layering system and always carry a light waterproof in your daypack: sunshine and a passing shower can alternate within the hour, even in summer. That very climate is the secret behind the islands' endless green, the giant ferns and the waterfalls. And don't forget sun protection for Santa Maria \u2014 the island of the sun.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-8\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How difficult are the walks?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Moderate: stages range from 6 to 13 km on S\u00e3o Miguel and the two-island circuit, and somewhat longer on the Santa Maria circumnavigation, over varied volcanic terrain \u2014 rural paths, coastal trails and laurel forest. Any regular walker used to full-day hikes will be comfortable; sturdy footwear and hiking poles are recommended.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-9\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I swim? And what about the hot springs?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Both, gloriously. The stages pass volcanic beaches, natural pools and swimming spots perfect for an Atlantic dip \u2014 and on S\u00e3o Miguel you'll walk around Lagoa das Furnas, one of Europe's most active geothermal areas, where the ground steams beside you and local restaurants slow-cook the famous cozido stew in the volcanic earth itself. Unique gastronomy is very much part of this trip.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-10\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">I'm travelling solo \u2014 and can I customise the itinerary?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The Azores suit solo walkers wonderfully: the trails are safe, the villages welcoming, and on the Santa Maria trek the shared refuges make meeting fellow walkers effortless.

These islands were pushed up from the ocean floor by eruption after eruption, and that fiery inheritance shapes every stage: you&#8217;ll walk crater rims, pass thermal springs and cross old lava flows long since claimed by ferns and hydrangeas. Fittingly, the two islands you&#8217;ll visit bookend the story: Santa Maria is the oldest island of the archipelago, its volcanoes long asleep and softened by millions of years of erosion, while on S\u00e3o Miguel the earth is still very much awake \u2014 steaming, bubbling and occasionally hissing at Furnas.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A crossroads of navigators<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Portuguese sailors reached these islands in the fifteenth century, and Santa Maria was the first to be discovered and settled \u2014 its capital, Vila do Porto, is the oldest town in the Azores. Even Christopher Columbus called in here: returning from his first voyage to America in 1493, he anchored off Santa Maria, and his crew gave thanks at the little chapel of Anjos \u2014 which today&#8217;s coastal trail passes right by. To walk the Azores is to wander through five centuries of Atlantic history: discoverers, whalers and island communities who turned a remote scatter of rock into a fertile, welcoming home.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Santa Maria, the island of the sun<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Small, luminous and unlike anywhere else in the archipelago: Santa Maria is the driest, sunniest of the Azores \u2014 and the only island you can walk right around on its coastal trail. Our refuge-to-refuge trek around Santa Maria unpacks its contrasts over five stages: the red-clay desert of Barreiro da Faneca, a landscape straight off Mars; the white-sand beach of Praia Formosa, unique in the Azores; century-old vineyards terraced above the sea; the sweeping bay of S\u00e3o Louren\u00e7o; and the climb to Pico Alto, the island&#8217;s 587-metre rooftop wrapped in laurel forest.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-19046 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.natour.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Azores-Santa-Maria-Sao-Miguel-7-min.webp\" alt=\"Azores Santa Maria Sao Miguel\" width=\"611\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.natour.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Azores-Santa-Maria-Sao-Miguel-7-min.webp 611w, https:\/\/www.natour.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Azores-Santa-Maria-Sao-Miguel-7-min-300x197.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>S\u00e3o Miguel, the green island<\/h4>\n<p>The main island gathers the archipelago&#8217;s icons in one place. On our S\u00e3o Miguel programme you&#8217;ll walk the rim of the Sete Cidades caldera above its two legendary lakes; circle Lagoa das Furnas amid fumaroles and bubbling springs \u2014 where local restaurants slow-cook the famous cozido stew in the heat of the volcanic ground itself; follow forest paths to the Salto do Prego waterfall; and discover the north coast with volcanic beaches like Praia dos Moinhos. Can&#8217;t choose between the islands? Our S\u00e3o Miguel &amp; Santa Maria circuit combines both in eight days, inter-island flight included.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Biodiversity and the Atlantic climate<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Many experienced hikers consider S\u00e3o Miguel to be the crown jewel of the archipelago. On this island, the volcanic trail becomes a showcase of elegant colonial architecture and pristine natural beauty. Small villages of white houses with red tile roofs nestled among hills and valleys, as if scattered by a careful craftsman. Cobblestone streets wind through the buildings, leading visitors to discover cozy squares and corners full of history and tradition. At the center of these villas, ancient churches stand with quiet dignity, their bell towers echoing with the echo of times past.<\/p>\n<p>As you advance through S\u00e3o Miguel, the landscape becomes more dramatic and mysterious. In the heart of the island, mountains rise majestically, dressed in exuberant forests where secret trails invite adventurers to lose themselves in nature. Waterfalls fall in glass curtains, feeding streams that whisper ancient stories to those who stop to listen. Volcanic lakes with crystal-clear waters, such as Lagoa das Furnas and Sete Cidades, present unique geological formations completely inaccessible by motorized vehicles. The exclusivity of these corners makes the Azores an incredibly rewarding experience for adventurers seeking solitude and crystal-clear Atlantic waters.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Magic of Night and End of Day in Azores<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-18199\" src=\"https:\/\/www.natour.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Sao-Miguel-37.webp\" alt=\"Sao Miguel Azores con Natourtravel\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.natour.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Sao-Miguel-37.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.natour.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Sao-Miguel-37-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.natour.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Sao-Miguel-37-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.natour.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Sao-Miguel-37-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.natour.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Sao-Miguel-37-700x467.webp 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The nights on the islands have their own magic. Under a star-filled sky, silence becomes palpable, broken only by the distant song of some nocturnal bird or the whisper of wind through the trees. It is a place where time seems to stand still, where the soul can find deep and renewing peace. Every sunrise and every sunset paints a unique and fleeting picture on the horizon of the soul, where dark volcanic rock clashes with the deep Atlantic Sea.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Biodiversity and Subtropical Climate in Azores<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The islands are a living museum of Atlantic nature: giant ferns, hydrangea-lined lanes, laurel forest and remarkable birdlife \u2014 the archipelago is a resting post for countless migratory birds on their ocean crossings. The climate stays gentle all year, with mild summers and cool, wetter winters; from April to October, temperatures hover between 15\u00b0C and 25\u00b0C \u2014 walking weather at its finest. And that fine balance of sunshine and Atlantic moisture is precisely the secret behind the endless green that made the Azores famous.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Practical tips for walking in the Azores<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Some stretches are gentle strolls; others ask for decent fitness and the right kit:<\/p>\n<p>\u25b8 <strong>Footwear<\/strong>: trail shoes or sturdy hiking boots \u2014 volcanic terrain is beautiful but uneven.<br \/>\n\u25b8 <strong>Water and layers<\/strong>: carry plenty of water and keep a light waterproof in your daypack; Atlantic weather can turn on a sixpence, even in summer.<br \/>\n\u25b8 <strong>Navigation<\/strong>: follow the trail waymarks and use our GPS app with the maps downloaded offline.<\/p>\n<p>Tread lightly and respect local regulations \u2014 you&#8217;ll be helping preserve one of Europe&#8217;s most delicate ecosystems. Whether you circle Santa Maria refuge by refuge or roam the volcanoes of S\u00e3o Miguel, the Azores will leave their mark on you \u2014 and, in all likelihood, a standing appointment to return to this poem of islands in the middle of the Atlantic.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;100px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1785597888413{background-color: #F2F2F2 !important;}&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1785597850650{padding-top: 2% !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 2% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;background-color: #F2F2F2 !important;}&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1785597858719{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}&#8221;] Azores [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"full_width.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-27830","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.natour.travel\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27830","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.natour.travel\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.natour.travel\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.natour.travel\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.natour.travel\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27830"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.natour.travel\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27830\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.natour.travel\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
