Norwegian Viva - Day 3 | Azores, Ponta Delgada, Surfing, Hot Springs, Crater Lake, Sete Cidades

Come join us, Mel & Caroline aka the TravelFlirts as we begin our 11 day transatlantic cruise from spectacular Lisbon, Portugal to Miami, US.
Our 11 day adventure included stops at the exotic and mysterious Islands of the Azores, the chilled and laid back St. Thomas AVI, and a final stop at Taino bay on the beautiful lush tropical island of Dominican Republic.
In this episode, we have our first port stop at the beautiful stunning Island of São Miguel, Ponta Delgada. We have booked a private tour with Azores Dream Tours, & after being met at the port we are whisked away to the first stop, Sete Cidades. High up in the green lush hills just a 15mins drive from the port we are taken aback by the sheer scale & beauty of the Lake and surround valley! Next, we move on to Parque Da Ribeira Dos Caldeirões. This stunning valley showcases waterfalls, rivers, ancient watermills, & lush vegetation. Onwards towards the town of Furnas, here we explore a volcanic Caldera complete with bubbling sulphur springs & have the opportunity to taste natural spring mineral waters:/
What an amazing Island! So much to see do! ...& the little hiccup of a breakdown didn't dampen our mood at all!!

Love the volcanic & lush lanscapes of the various islands of the Azores. Also some of the islands are great for whale and dolphin species watching., they almost cancel out the smells 😉. Looks like you both had a great day despite the car excitement.

You’re right! How fabulous are the vistas! We were so surprised by the green & lush the landscapes 🌴 The smell .. the smell 🤢 .. I’ll never get used to it 🤣 .. we had the same issue in Iceland (& that is also one amazing place!)

Hello. Enjoyed your video. What was the specific tour you took with Azores Dream Tours? We will be there in December with NCL and are debating doing the excursion offered through the ship...specifically the Village of Sete Cidades and Wine Tasting Tour. However, after watching a couple of other RUclipsrs, who took that tour from Royal, it didn't seem like they had the views your guide provided...and the wine tasting ended up at a hotel...that really seemed like more of a quick glass of wine and some cheese in a banquet room. Not sure if this will be the same tour that NCL offers. Thanks for any input you can share.

@PattieFromCincinnati Hi & thank you watching! Glad you found it helpful 😊… So we decided to do a private tour for several reasons … it’s customizable, it’s just your family/friends & you typically can set the pace at which you explore … Azores Dream Tours had good reviews & we found them to be great at communicating & you can arrange a private tour easily .. we had a couple of places we wanted to go to .. BUT they also had fabulous suggestions & between us we put together the itinerary … we had a blast & really enjoyed the day .. We found it great value & our driver/guide was super fun & informative..
