ISLAND HOPPING THESE NORTH ATLANTIC ISLANDS - Azores - Visit all 9 of these nature islands - Ep 102

[@MD-4mee]

I too was born in the Azores (Sao Miguel), my parents migrated to Canada in 1971. Just retired and this video is very instructive and useful. Thank you for the information, this is definitely on my to-do list.

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

That is awesome, our family immigrated right after you guys in 1974. Glad you found the video useful, its time visit! Take care MD.

Just returned from visiting the Azores. Ferry service from Pico to Faial was great and even a nice ferry port with WiFi and a quaint little café. And only approx $8 USD! Can't wait to go back. Love your videos - obrigada!

Thanks for the info! I wil be in the island from 13 june

Thank you! Enjoy your stay! Cheers!

[@darrellvivianpeters6631]

Great video...one thing we came across when traveling from Pico to Faial is we could not take our rental car to the island they did not permit it so we had to rent another car on Faial for the day we were there....just something for tourists to be aware of...it may have changed this was 2019...Viv

Did island hoping 9 years ago ( my last time in Pico) loved it, 2 days in each island some you need more . Definitely recommend it. Also climbed the mountain of Pico and went to the Caldeira do Santo Cristo in Sao Jorge, beautiful hike .

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

What an unbelievable trip, not to mention a bit of an adventure. Thanks for sharing Maria. Cheers!

[@DarrenJCrawford]

Get out of my head. 😀I was just talking with my brother about island hoping in the Azores. I have been searching all the islands as of late and where the flights land at what island’s during the season because they do switch from Ponta Delgado to Ilha Terceira for the main flights. Love the channel.

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

Great minds think a like. Glad that you're enjoying the channel and are planning one of these amazing Azores island hops. There is always more frequency of flights in Sao Miguel, Terceira keeps increasing. The key would be to plan ahead. Happy travels my friend. Take care Darren!

[@scrapsaturdays]

… hey Carlos great solo video 👍🏼 , we leave for Pico in a couple of weeks so excited , do you know if the new neo planes have USB ports at our seats for device charging ? … hugs to you and Laura from Monica & Alan

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

Thanks Monica, glad you enjoyed it. I believe they do have USB ports, maybe even an entertainment console...not 100% sure. Hugs to you guys and have an amazing time. Saude!

[@keloudiakohzadi_teixeira3402]

Hi, I hope this message finds you well. Do you have any videos regarding pros and cons of purchasing a property in azores(Saõ Miguel to be specific)? Or do you know anyone who can help us with details of this process? My husband and I are living in Burlington Ontario and we would like to get some information. I greatly appreciate your help. Have a fantastic day!

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

Hi Keloudia, Our next video is about buying property in the Azores, out on Sunday. You might be able to get a bit of insight about Real Estate in the Azores. You can always send me an email with questions after you see the video. Take care!

Hi Carlos have a question. Why di you say saint jorge ? When it’s São

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

That was a slip of the tongue, sometimes my English and Portuguese gets mixed up. I'm really trying to improve the Portuguese, a work in progress. I noticed that after I filmed it. Take care Carlos!

[@janengelbrecht2305]

Hi Carlos, we are coming to Pico October 1. Wanting to do island hopping day trips from there. Do you know if the ferry is running full schedule at that time. Nothing showing right now on the ferry web site. Any information would be appreciated! Thanks

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

The daily schedule ferries in October are mostly between Faial, Sao Jorge and Pico. I believe the ferry that goes to Terceira and Graciosa might end by then. Take care!

[@shelbyzhang8364]

Hi Carlos, thank you for the detail led video! I’m planning a trip for this October/November to the azores from Toronto… do you have any recommendations on automatic car rental? I can’t seem to find any!

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

Glad you enjoyed the video Shelby. It's not easy finding automatic cars to rent or buy, and when you do they are very expensive. The best chance on finding them would be with the main car rental companies like Tropical, Ilha verde etc. Take care!

[@palmtrees89]

would you ever consider visiting the islands of the atlantic outside of the azores. . .say Faroe Islands [part of Denmark] way up north? They look beautiful and unique as well. YOLO [aka you only live once]

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

We definitely would and will some day. We would also like to visit the Canaries and Cabo Verde. So many wonderful places to explore. Take care Edward!

[@andrewgomes833]

Hey Carlos! Long time no hear! Again from Texas. I am having a hard time getting my dual citizenship. Last time my father cannot find his birth certificate from Portugal! Any suggestions! I have been working on the consulate! Help!! Look forward in hearing from you Carlos!!

[@briant3404]

you should probably start by contacting the registe civil (civil registrty, your dad would know) of the conselho(municipality) where he was born.

[@briant3404]

if he was born in a hospital it would probably be in the main city of the conselho, but if he was born at home it could be in any aldeia/freguesia , and you can contact them, and they can be helpful. the town council , the câmara. google câmara and the town where he was born . birth , death and marriage records are the ones that you can find the easiest.

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

Nice to hear from you Andrew, hope all is well. Brian had the best suggestion, I'm doing the same for my brother. Good luck! Saude!

[@tlmiam1]

I wonder if there is a way to get an automobile from NY to The Azores.

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

If you are asking if you can ship vehicles from NY to Azores, yes you can. There is a shipping company that goes from Newark I believe, not sure. Take vare!

[@tlmiam1]

@@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552 Thanks so much for your responses. I’m really excited about seeing all these beautiful islands. ❤️

[@darrellvivianpeters6631]

We are traveling June 2023 to Barcelona then onto Ponta Del Gata....any suggestions for airline from Barcelona to Ponta Delgada?

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

Hi Darrel! From what I understand, there is no flights from Barcelona. There is a seasonal flight on Iberia from Madrid, this would probably be your best option. So you you would go from Barcelona, Madrid and then Sao Miguel. Go to the Azores airlines, put in city of departure, they probably have code share...if not, go to Iberia airlines. I hope this helps. Happy travels!!

[@darrellvivianpeters6631]

@@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552 Thanks for the advice as right now we are too far in advance for schedules to accept our dates but for sure we will look at that airline i had not heard of that! Thank You!..Viv

ryanair flies terceira to lisbon and beyond very cheaply...much cheaper than tap or azores airways.

[@carlosvictor8679]

ryanair is irish not british.

[@60andUP]

You can fly London to Terceira- very good value. Ryanair
