Creator's Key Takeaways

The Azores and the Furnace Valley excursion. This was one of the top three excursions we've ever taken.

The scenery of the Azores is just absolutely lush and gorgeous.

Terra Nostra Park is an exceptionally gorgeous garden. There's a large centralized thermal pool.

The wine tasting was not at a winery. It was just basically at a wine bar in view of the ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid the wine tasting tour as it is often just a wine bar near the ship rather than a real winery.
Be aware that weather can change significantly during your tour; check the forecast as rain can impact visibility.
