Once again in our travels we pretty much tried the full range of activities available and can safely say that the islands won't dissapoint.
We worked for a Whale and Dolphin Watching Company in Faial for 5 months, and can confirm that The Azores are an brilliant destination for seing these amazing creatures.
Most islands have operators, though our picks are: 1. Faial, 2. Pico, and 3. Sao Miguel.

Azores Golf
For the Golfers amounst you, I cannot think of anything better than a tour of the Azores with a few rounds of Golf. Only two of the Azores Islands have courses; Sao Miguel and Terceira, but the courses will certainly challenge and the views will keep you relaxed when you hit a wayward shot.
