While the rugged volcanic islands of the Azores might not appeal to younger children, teenagers will be ditching their iPads in no time in favour of wild adventures worthy of Lord of The Rings.
Whether you choose to anchor yourselves on one island or hop across the archipelago, there are a wealth of activities that will keep the most restless entertained on a family dive holiday to the Azores. Hike towering volcanoes, kayak in glistening crater lakes ringed with ancient rainforest, explore caves and grottos, soak in bubbling hot springs and discover ancient fortresses (we could go on).
The watery world is just as enthralling, with local dive sites boasting a wealth of critters and a fascinating topography which are a real pleasure to explore for both open water and advanced divers alike. Head out to sea and spot whales and dolphins (Nat Geo regularly shoot here), while advanced divers can swim with several species of shark in the offshore sites.
