Our trip to the Azores allowed us to discover the islands of Fayal and Pico, their very different and beautiful landscapes, but above all a friendly and welcoming Portuguese population, whose daily calm was a welcome source of rest. The accommodation (bed and breakfast and traditional house) was very pleasant and the local intermediaries were always available and smiling: each time, someone took the time to give us clear information about the place, the activities and the procedures. Likewise, the CW Azores team, which was in charge of the sea trips (dolphin diving, cetacean watching), is composed exclusively of specialists, all motivated by a passion for the marine fauna they love to share and attentive to the well-being of each person as well as to everyone's questions: Each excursion was a real moment of discovery and understanding of the marine world (various dolphins, jumping sperm whales, frenetic flying fish, gliding cagarros, sharks in transit). Our satisfaction is complete and the Azores will certainly be a place where we will return very soon to enjoy the island serenity.

If I were to qualify this praise, which is nonetheless sincere, I would say that the point to be reviewed is the noise of the accommodation:
- In Horta, the guest room had all the qualities we had hoped for, but the window overlooking the main street and the noise of the cars on the cobblestones made us (really) very early;
- on Pico, the location was absolutely wonderful but the almost constant high pitched barking (day and night) of the neighbour's dogs was a real nuisance. While thanking our lovely host with a message we left in the house, we informed him of this inconvenience.
In spite of this, the main part of the trip was really enjoyable and we are happy with this experience in Azore. We thank you for your availability and your organisation.
