This trip is in our TOP 3 ALL-TIME travel destinations in the world, and we've been to over 50 countries! If you have never heard of the Azores islands (off the coast of Portugal), you need to put it near the top of your bucket list destinations... watch this video to see why!

When each of our kids graduate from high school, we take them on a senior trip anywhere they want, and get to pick a few friends to come along. Since Rylan just graduated, she chose to go to the Azores islands, off the coast of Portugal. I had done a ton of research beforehand, and wondered why I had never really heard of them before!

The Azores have to be the most BEAUTIFUL place we have ever been, and that is saying a lot since I've been to 54 countries in my lifetime! I can only explain them as a mix of Kauai (Hawaii), Ireland, England, Switzerland, and New Zealand, all on just a few small islands. From small fishing villages along the coast, all the way to the craters of the volcanoes that created the islands, everything is FRAGRANT, LUSH, and GREEN! Even the sides of the roads and highways have naturally-growing hydrangea bushes that are in full bloom in the June-Aug months. The island has quite a moderate temperature year round, with lots of moisture due to its location in the Gulf Stream.

Rylan picked her friend Kelsey Leroy (‪@KesleyJade‬) of the Leroy's, Kamri, and their friend Kara to come with her. She also agreed to let Brooklyn & Bailey with their significant others come along, if they wanted, so they did. We had to leave Dax and Paisley since Paisley was attending one of two summer camps and Daxton is a summer counselor for a local coding camp. We also found during research that the island had many dangerous sites that are not meant for younger kids (waterfall repelling, treacherous hikes, hot volcanic calderas, ocean hot pools, dangerous switchbacks, etc.)

All of the places we visited on the island are listed in the video. (Please be aware, that most rental cars on the island are manual transmission, meaning you have to be comfortable driving a stick shift and clutch. We were not quite prepared for how steep and winding some of the roads were!) The food was much less expensive than in the US, and all of the people we met were super nice and most speak excellent English.

We loved San Miguel so much that want to come back and explore the other islands! If you are looking for an adventurous travel destination that is in our TOP 3 all time, then put the Azores on your list! There are naturally occurring hot springs all over, tiny fisherman villages, stunning hikes, and you can even have a stew cooked right there on the volcano ground!
