What you can expect

Your day begins with convenient pick-up from hotels in central Angra do Heroísmo before heading to Monte Brasil, where you'll take in panoramic views over the UNESCO World Heritage city of Angra do Heroísmo and its picturesque bay. Continue to a traditional Honey House (Adega do Mel) for a fascinating journey into the world of bees. Learn about the remarkable language of bees and their unique social organisation during a brief educational introduction. Discover the preparation and maintenance of beehives and learn about the different products bees create, including honey, pollen, propolis, and beeswax. Visit the Educational Honey House, where specially prepared observation hives allow you to safely watch bees at work and admire their extraordinary precision and organisation. Continue with an interpretive visit through the Honey House to discover every stage of the honey production process, from hive to jar. Complete your visit with a tasting of authentic Azorean honey, often described as “liquid gold”, celebrated for its unique flavour and exceptional quality, thanks to the richness and diversity of the Azorean flora. After the visit, enjoy a relaxing lunch break, giving you the opportunity to sample local cuisine before continuing the adventure. The journey continues to Serra do Facho, offering sweeping views over Praia da Vitória and its bay, followed by a stop at Miradouro Humberto Delgado, one of the island's most spectacular viewpoints. Next, visit Serra do Cume, home to Terceira's largest caldeira and the island's iconic patchwork landscape of vibrant green fields. Along the way, pause to enjoy a tasting of traditional Azorean cheeses, another highlight of the island's rich gastronomic heritage. Before returning, admire the impressive volcanic scenery from Serra da Ribeirinha, providing the perfect finale to a day filled with nature, culture, and unforgettable flavours. After a memorable day exploring Terceira Island, relax as you are comfortably transported back to your hotel.
