Here’s a peek into a 9-night journey we recently designed for a family looking to experience a different side of Portugal, one filled with volcanic landscapes, unforgettable food, and outdoor adventure.

Their trip began in the Azores on São Miguel, where days were spent out on the Atlantic deep-sea fishing, exploring the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Furnas, and discovering the island’s incredible food scene. A jeep adventure through Sete Cidades and Lagoa do Fogo ended with a private chef preparing dinner inside a pineapple greenhouse, one of the most unique dining experiences on the itinerary.

Next came Pico Island, where black lava fields, UNESCO-listed vineyards, and Portugal’s highest mountain created an entirely different landscape. They cycled through the island’s volcanic vineyards before spending a day exploring Pico’s rich whaling heritage, dramatic coastline, and local traditions.

The journey finished in Lisbon, where they experienced the city from a different perspective with a private tram ride, a tuk tuk food tour, and an evening of traditional Fado accompanied by dinner.

This itinerary was designed to showcase a side of Portugal that many travelers never experience. A journey that balances adventure, incredible food, and beautiful landscapes, while allowing plenty of time to slow down and enjoy each stop.
