cruise all the islands?

Just found your sight and I really appreciate the info. We hope to return to the Acores next year but we wanted to see all the islands on a budget. Is there any package deal including most islands. We are planning on staying in Ponta Delgada and going to the Flores Island....we have relatives on both islands.
Hope you can help.
Thanks so much,
Toni

Hi Toni
I can't think of a package deal to see several islands, especially if you're on any sort of budget. There is a ferry in operation with good schedules from May - September. Check them out at http://www.atlanticoline.pt You can view the site in English.

To get from Sao Miguel to Flores, you will have to stop at an island in between, likely Terceira.

I don't know how long you plan to be in the Azores, but if its only a week or two, stick to two or three islands or else you'll just be rushing around.

Hope that helps a bit.

Sincerely,
