17 Fun Things to do in Terceira Island, Azores (Portugal)!

[@xanxeer4664]

Absolutely an amazing hidden Place

[@AzoresWhatElse]

Impeccable images. Keep up the good work, and don't forget to visit again the Azores.

[@smallcrazy]

Thank you so much! I will for sure! :)

[@arton6297]

Fun and informative video

[@smallcrazy]

Thank you!!

[@JfCLA]

Wow - such colorful architecture!

[@smallcrazy]

Thanks! Yeah lots of nice colours to be seen in Terceira!

[@jerrydiver1]

In 1989, a few of my Navy friends and I designed and oversaw the running of the first ever T&D road rally on Terceira for the Navy Relief charity. We conceived a course that would expose the contesting driver/navigator teams to the island's incredible beauty, from the central highlands where the bulls for the street 'bullfights' and running of the bulls are selected to the lovely and historic cities of Praia and Angra, with optional stops at lovely seaside eateries, swimming holes and at some of the most stunningly and vividly verdant scenic overlooks you could ever hope to see. We wanted lots of our military friends stationed there like us to see the island from the perspective of its native population, and so our rally was a smashing success. That was my most culturally fulfilling and educational tour during my 20 year Navy career, and I wish every single one of you reading this could get the chance to go and enjoy it. Bon voyage.

That’s so cool! How different was it back then??

Hi, I just saw your video. The editing is fantastic, the drone work is phenomenal. I see that our famous bulls were missing from your video. I say this because they are my passion here on my island and that's why I spend a few hours of my time with them, recording the work with the respective owners of these beautiful animals. Too bad I can't spend more time editing my videos, it's all so fast due to my work. Your edition is magnificent. Congratulations and don't forget to visit the other islands, each with its different charm. A big hug. Stay safe.

[@tacosahhyeah1116]

I lived there for 11 years and my brother was born there. Haven’t been there since I left in 1987, and am not surprised it looks almost exactly as I remember. Keep telling my kids they only way they will understand me is when I take them there.

[@howedeblaizes9356]

Yes, my family lived there in early 60's. Terceira has changed. Tourist economy began to significantly grow by 2000's, thanks to Internet. No one is poor now! I took our children there in early 2020's. You have a wonderful perception! Our children began to understand me more. Afterwards, they presented me a beautiful painting of the island! A wonderful place always.

[@adventuresofafatman]

Thanks for the tips! Great editing too.

[@smallcrazy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@flaviosampaio919]

Awesome place and great video wow good job guys👌😉

[@belgradehill]

This is such a beautiful adorable video that I have no words to express what I loved about it. In short: pure sweet creative emotional perfection! : )) Shoot more and boost the algorithm somehow to get the snowball rolling. . . It's a shame you don't reach a much larger audience. Greetings from Serbia, we can't wait for you to make a video like this here : )

[@hallinasjournal7795]

So green! So beautiful! So natural! That would be my reaction too 🤣

[@smallcrazy]

Hahahaa! I’m soooo descriptive 🤣

[@rogermoore27]

Strange. In December 2018, I was 5 days new on a cruise ship that sailed from the Caribbean to a place which I recently remembered was called Praia da Vitoria. I did not know that it was in The Azores until today. So it makes it 51 places that I have visited around the world

[@smallcrazy]

That’s really cool!! Was Praia da Vitoria the last destination before going back to the Caribbean?

[@rogermoore27]

@@smallcrazy No. It was just before the start of a World Voyage on Queen Victoria. I sailed from November 2018 until June 2019 and we literally went around the world

[@rebeccagutierrez1960]

I didn't even know this island existed! Such a nice video. And such a funny girl. Greetings from Puerto Rico. Well, I went on a cruise almost a year ago to the mediterranean and some people didn't know where Puerto Rico was so I don't feel bad.

[@smallcrazy]

Hi! Thank you!! Never been to Puerto Rico but one of my close friends loves it very much :)

[@ChristineLozada]

love your quirky personality! so cute! i found your vlog and blog from the brightnomad's twitter post. love it!

thanks so much! :)

Thanks for sharing this! I am going to TER in November this year, and this got my excite levels up! Cheers!

I wish you a wonderful trip to terceira !!

[@muskokapawskennel5299]

You are sooooo cute. Well done! We might be moving there from Canada.

[@smallcrazy]

Good luck!! And thank you!

[@MarkH10]

I love your enthusiasm. It's a hidden gem. I last had Alcatra, my favorite food there in '72. Until you share life with locals, you have no idea what this island is. For instance, there are miles of underground tunnels. You barely scratched the surface.

[@smallcrazy]

I've heard of some tunnels but not MILES! but I'll surely go there again :D

[@rubenrusso7586]

What tunnels? Going there next week and I'm Interested in visiting some

[@MarkH10]

@@rubenrusso7586 On the satellite map you will see a Lava flow to the sea at Bisquoitos, on Terceira. Whenever you see lava flowing you have the makings of underground stone lined tunnels. Forgive me if I do not recall where the tunnels are, I just recall that we walked for at least a mile, and there was a water trough built in as the tunnel had so much water flowing in it. Please ask locals about it. I was last on the island when I was 12, and that was 01/03/1973. I just searched "Terceira, Azores tunnel" and there are several photos. Keep in mind what I said, Lava flows will cool from the outside in, so the phenomenon produces tunnels quite often, because the molten lava still flows out the bottom of the flow. Janelo do Inferno. I hope you have a great time on Terceira.

[@rogermoore27]

5:36 - I visited a place in Grand Cayman with black jagged rocks like the ones you walked on. It is not by the sea though. The name of the place is Hell.....

[@sandortoth7046]

2 years ago I have been to Sao Miguel and very much longing back to Azores :) with this cheerful and nicely informative video you gave a gentle push to my ambitions, will start putting the details together :)

Love the video editing🔥🔥🔥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@zacharykrevitt7560]

I'm living in Biscoitos now for the month of february, right near the natural pools, I try to go swimming there most days even though its cold. If you go, bring some goggles! There are hundreds of fish that hang out there. Also wise to wear some water shoes, as there are some sea urchins as well.

[@smallcrazy]

That’s so cool!! What’s the water temperature there at the moment?? Sea urchins sound annoying, haha

[@brianc8329]

I’ll be there June . I can’t wait !

I love how adventurous you were with the food. Beautiful captivating images, thank you for bringing home to me ❤️

[@smallcrazy]

Thank you so much!!

[@TheCityandBeyond]

Haha waiting for those drone shots are worth it. They are BEAUTIFUL. We've never heard of Terceira. After watching this we are definitely going to make note of it.

[@smallcrazy]

Thank you!! The Azores had 9 beautiful islands - we've only been to 4 so far but plan to see the rest! As soon as travel is encouraged again.. haha

[@minusm.3393]

My parents are from the island been going since a child. Yes it is beautiful, lots of entertainment in the summer, water is Mediterranean warm. The food is the most under rated and seafood is always fresh.

[@LoveFromAzores]

Nice vídeo 😉👌

Thank you!

I was stationed at Lajes Field from 87-89, when I first arrived I was like who did I piss off to get stuck on this Freakin Island but I quickly learned that it was Soooooo much more than that. I lived in town about 10 minutes from the base close to the beach. I could look out of my second story window to the left and see it. Right before you get to the base was a Bakery that was THE Bomb, my favorite breakfast was the Coconut Bread. Obviously I feel In Love with this Place! Wanted to go and live there for the rest of my life but circumstances didn't allow that.

[@smallcrazy]

1987!! That's incredible!! I would love to see what it was like back then. When was the last time you were there? I would love to know more about your experience, if you have any photos that would be amazing too. Thanks for your input - appreciate it. And apologies for the late reply!

[@kenttraffas5341]

I was stationed there from 75-76. The most laid back place on earth. Weekly bull fights in the streets, the dark dry island wine "vinche", and the language is beautiful. The people were great. I still have dreams of Lajes and that was 45 years ago.

[@JaneGriffo]

thank you!

[@rallealyt]

I'm from Terceira. Very nice video. Very cool transitions with the drone footage! You must return for Sanjoaninas... :-) Just a note: traditionally we don't eat Alcatra with potatoes, rice or any other sidedish. Just the "massa sovada" (sweet bread) :-)

[@smallcrazy]

rallealyt thanks for letting me know! And anyway, that sweet bread is my favourite part of the dish !! 😂😂

[@rallealyt]

@@smallcrazy I love it too :) and it's really good toasted, with butter. Fun fact: the sweet bread of Hawaii (and other stuff) was introduced by azorians. There's a lot of things/places with some sort of relation with Terceira.

[@smallcrazy]

@@rallealyt How interesting!! What other dishes were originally from the Azores??

[@rallealyt]

@@smallcrazyhawaian malasadas are also from Azores (from S. Miguel, but there are different versions with different names in Terceira and other islands). Also some ways of preparing fish and meat (marinated in wine), sausages, etc. Also music (the ukulele is their version of the portuguese cavaquinho). Some influences are also from the portuguese mainland and maybe Madeira.

Hello, I greet you from the beautiful city of Medellín, Colombia, I fell in love with your video and your trip to Terceira Island, my dream is to visit the Azores Islands, the edition, the colors, the shots and above all the landscapes of this beautiful island. What time of year were they in? And at what time do you recommend going to visit this beautiful archipelago?

[@smallcrazy]

You write me from a place I would so love to visit!!! Thank you for your kind comments. This video was filmed in mid November - we were lucky with the weather. If you really want to a full experience (to be able to swim, visit other islands etc) I would recommend the summer months but you need to book many weeks in advance. September is also nice to avoid the crowds. :)
