Discover the Azores: A Photographer's Paradise
A Natural Wonder Awaits
The Azores, often hailed as the "Hawaii of Europe," is a hidden gem in the Atlantic Ocean. This archipelago of nine volcanic islands offers breathtaking landscapes, from dramatic cliffs and cascading waterfalls to lush green valleys and crystal-clear lakes. Join us on a photographic adventure to explore the beauty of São Miguel.
São Miguel: The Heart of the Azores
We will visit the largest island, São Miguel. We'll capture the island's stunning volcanic landscapes, including the iconic Sete Cidades, a pair of volcanic crater lakes. Explore the dramatic coastline, where towering cliffs plunge into the ocean, and discover hidden waterfalls and lush green valleys.

Throughout the tour, you'll receive expert guidance on composition, exposure, and post-processing techniques. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced photographer, you'll have the opportunity to improve your skills and capture stunning images.

Relatively easy but good footwear needed. Most locations and viewpoints are close to where we will be parked. There may be some walking on uneven terrain which could be wet and muddy, and some locations are hilly. Good sturdy, water resistant boots are advised.
Best place to fly to is Ponta Delgada Airport. If coming from the UK or within Europe, check for flights at Easyjet or Wizz Air or Ryanair.
I will pick you up at Ponta Delgada airport
The mornings and evenings can be chilly, so warm clothes. Ideally layers that you can remove or put on as we’ll be shooting before sunrise and after sunset, in the dark, when it will be colder. Bring wet weather gear and a raincover for your camera equipment.
