Hike, Canyon and Whale Watch in the Azores

fabulous trip, always on the go. Nuno was a great guide and hugely knowledgeable. Canyoning and coasteering were both brilliant and able to be adapted slightly for those with higher levels of intrepidation without reducing others enjoyment

For the adventure lover this trip offers a diverse range of fantastic experiences. From adrenalin fuelled activities to encounters with the amazing marine animals, it has something for everyone.

Great trip! Very easy - low fitness levels required for this one - coasteering is a must-do! The group guide was awesome and knowledgeable, the island is beautiful even when the weather was against us.

I had a great trip. A fun team and Nuno was an excellent, fabulously knowledgeable host with a clear love of the island. Hotels were lovely and there was a good balance of activity and downtime.

Fantastic trip - our guide Nuno's encyclopaedic knowledge of the island, his personality, delivery, strong client experience made a big difference. He is one of the best guides we have met in decades! Our group mates were awesome and this combined with the breathtaking scenery and fun hiking, canyoning, cycling made this holiday one of the best we've had in years.

Back from an incredible trip to the Azores! This was my first trip with MBA and I will certainly be booking another. We had a fantastic group of people and we all got on really well. Our local guide, Thomas, was fantastic and did his best to compensate when the weather went against us. We didn't manage to do the hike to the highest point on the island, but did a coastal walk instead which was still really good (plus we could see!). For the canyoning and the coasteering, we went with some specialist guides who were really good fun but at the same time made a big effort to ensure that we felt safe. My personal highlight was the whale-watching. The weather had been dicey so we weren't sure if we would get to go, but we did and yes, some of us felt a bit seasick, but we saw humpbacks and kills whales - it was amazing! The Azores are beautiful islands and I would love to go again, hopefully when the weather is better. I would 100% recommend this trip!

A wonderful week in a beautiful country with a lovely group of people. This trip is well balanced in terms of adventure and free time to explore.

A welcome meeting/arrival information on the first night would have been helpful but it didn’t detract from my enjoyment of this trip.

Loved this trip, so many good things to say but will just note that the trip exceeded my expectations. Beautiful country and left with amazing experiences spent with wonderful people. Our guide Rodrigo really made sure we had the best experience!! Highly recommend 👌👌

A fantastic trip with a good range of adventure activities and time to do your own thing as well. Rodrigo was a great host who was able to adjust the trip to suit the weather to ensure we got the most out of our stay. The small group was a great way to meet new people and provided many laughs and good memories.

A fantastic holiday the local guide Paulo made what would have been a great trip even better with local knowledge and recommendations. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to explore the Azores it is a fantastic way to do so.

If this trip sounds fun to you, then book it! You won’t regret it if you love beautiful country, fun adventures, good food and good people.

Fantastic adventures everyday, the pack lunches were delicious. A good mix of holiday comforts and physical exercise.

The trip was amazing, and our local guide, Paulo, was an attentive, dedicated guide who managed the needs of 12 people with ease. No one ever felt like we were moving too slow, nor too fast. The activities covered a range of options, from hiking to kayaking to coasteering. The highlight of our trip was the coasteering day, which we spent on the North Coast of Sao Miguel (incredible!!).

The actual trip itself run by the local hosts was amazing and super fun. Only problem being MBA. Would not advise you to book through them, they don't take ownership or responsibility of the trip logistics, its all very much pass onto the local team and if anything goes wrong, its the local teams fault not theirs. When making the booking, it took me chasing them to find out why it wasnt accepted, and then i got told if you want to go on this trip, we messed up the room allocation, so you'll have to pay more for your own room, which i didnt budget to do. Found out on the trip they said this to others as well, seems rather sneaky. Also the itinerary wasnt followed upon arrival, instead i was told to kill4 hours in town so that the driver doesnt have to go back and forth even though they should have organised that better. No contact available for MBA which is frustrating when you are abroad. No whatsapp group set up to meet other travellers, only excuses from MBA.

I had the most amazing experience in the azores, our host and group were so friendly and welcoming ! Accommodation was wonderful and the days were packed full of a variety of activities. Seeing a blue whale on this trip will be something I'll will never forget!

This was such an incredible trip. Our local guide, Rodrigo, was wonderful! He rearranged our activities when the weather wasn't cooperating in order to maximize our trip time. Plus,I met an amazing group of people that I got to have a fun adventure with. I will definitely be taking another MBA trip in the future!

Great way to experience the Azores

Excellent trip. Really we organised as per usual from MBA. The trip had the perfect mix of relaxing time and activities. Hotels were excellent, particularly the one in Furnas, the hot springs are not to be missed!

Amazing time - well organised and fun

An amazing week away for anyone who loves an adventure! The itinerary was jam-packed and you definitely got your money's worth. The Azores has so much to offer, both in terms of things to do and places to visit. Too hard to pick one specific highlight, but Canyoning and Coasteering were brilliant, and seeing whales and dolphins was incredible. Our local guide, Rodrigo, was fantastic! As were the rest of the group - all very likeminded people and very fun to be around... especially after a few red wines. Another great MBA trip, and I couldn't recommend this one enough.

Great mix of adventures in a beautiful island!

Loved this trip. Rodrigo is a super host. Canyoning and coasteering were real highlights - well organised and a lot of fun. We saw a huge pod of dolphins, sperm whale and loggerhead turtle. Great food and amazing scenery. Highly recommend.

This trip exceeded my expectations. Each day was packed with fun activity, mini informative detours and the opportunity to relax at the right moments. Accommodation was great, our guide Rodrigo was superb and I felt lucky to share it with an awesome group of people.

It was so well organised and even if weather intervened, there was an alternative. I highly recommend this trip! Thank you MBA
