Is this trip for me?

This trip is for people who like to have fun and make friends, regardless of their age. It will be a unique experience in one of Europe’s last remaining paradises! We have no doubts that if you come with a relaxed and positive  mindset, you’ll have the trip of a lifetime!

It is important to understand that this is an adventure trip, and as such, there is always an element of the unexpected. Traveling in the Azores is not like staying at the Hilton in London… a lot can happen, from coming across different animals to the food not being as good as your mother’s, etc.

But it’s good that things are different, otherwise, it wouldn’t be worth leaving home. Also, good weather is unfortunately not a guarantee on a tiny island in the middle of the Atlantic. It can be raining one minute and sunny the next…

It is also important that you know that there may be changes in the itinerary. After all, what kind of a trip would it be without some adventure?

If you invite a friend to come on the tour, it is essential that you pass this information on to them. We want to make sure that everyone who comes along is aware of what to expect and that they join us with the right, adventurous mind frame that will create a healthy group dynamic!

What kind of rooms are we staying in?

In Porto and Lisbon will be staying in twin rooms in 4 star hotels. If you are traveling alone, you will be paired with another traveler of the same gender.

If you are traveling as a couple, rest assured that you will get your own private room together.

In Sao Miguel, we will be staying in a wonderful 3-floor Airbnb, less than 50 metres from the sea. Travelers here will be divided into spacious, fully air-conditioned, rooms (2 or 3 people per room). Each room has its own ensuite bathroom with  shower and toilet. 

Please note that couples cannot be guaranteed a private room here!

What if I want a single room?

Unfortunately, on this specific trip, due to the fact that we will be staying in an Airbnb in Sao Miguel, single rooms are not available. 

Is international airfare provided?

Yes, Roady will arrange your return airfare from Cyprus to Portugal, with Air Serbia (23 kgs permitted). The package also includes flights from Porto to Ponta Delgada in Sao Miguel and then from Ponta Delgada to Lisbon. Please note that these packages only come with hand luggage, though it is of course possible to add checked-in luggage for an extra cost.

Can I go alone?

Of course, most of our travelers sign up individually. They go to Portugal alone and come back with 12 new friends.

Who will I share my journey with?

You’ll spend the trip with our tour leader, Marcos. You’ll also spend all the days with other travelers who have many things in common with you, like a passion for traveling, for adventure, for discovery … and who are looking for new emotions and unforgettable moments on this trip. We normally have travelers from anywhere between 25 to 50 years old and we can assure you that the atmosphere is very fun and that you’ll end the trip with a new group of friends.

What is the exact number of travelers in the group?

It depends on the demand for that specific tour, but minimum 9 and maximum 13.

Is the group of travelers flying together?

Yes, as Roady will be arranging all your flights from Cyprus to Portugal and back. 

How do we meet at the airport?

We’ll take the data of all travelers and coordinate beforehand using WhatsApp so that we can arrange to share a ride to Larnaca airport, or to just meet there before flight departure. 

Is there an age requirement?

You must be 21 years old or older. However, we try to put together a group, where we feel similar interests will be held. That is to say, similar age groups and dynamics. As a result, we personally speak to all potential travelers to make sure that they fit in with the environment that we wish to create.

Do I need to take any specific equipment?

No, no special equipment is necessary, though hiking shoes would be useful and you may also want to take a light, waterproof jacket in case of rain during our treks.

Will I have any time for myself?

Of course! We hate tours that book every minute of your day. Our tour will be busy, but there will also be plenty of time to rest and disconnect.

Why are some of the meals not included?

We like to give you some time to be alone and seize every second of the day your own way. With that in mind, lunches will probably be in local restaurants in the specific part of the island where we are each day, while for dinner you can either cook at home (either alone or in a group) or go out to one of the several restaurants nearby.

What about visas?

No visas are needed for those holding an EU passport.

How many spots can I book at one time for the tour?

As many as you want. The maximum number of travelers is 13.

Can I save spots?

No, spots are only effectively reserved after payment.
