Located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the Azores represents the most Western point of Europe and is somewhat of a hidden gem for cyclists and European explorers. The volcanic nature of the island makes it a fantastically diverse location to explore by bike, with some superb routes and trails along the way that cater for road and mountain cyclists. These islands allow you to get lost in the mountains or take in the beautiful coastal scenery and should be part of any cyclist's checklist. We offer both guided and self-guided cycling tours in the Azores, so depending on your preference you are able to discover this bubbling island as part of a group, or cycle at your own pace.
Azure Ocean Ride
Self-Guided Leisure Bike Tour
E-BIKE HIRE AVAILABLE
This tour is well-suited to both regular bikes and pedal assist e-bikes, and you can choose to hire either when you book your tour with us. Confident cyclists will enjoy the boost from a battery for those cheeky climbs, and with less effort required on the bike, you’ll have more energy at the end of the day for off-the-bike activities.
Daily departures available. The season prices below are per person and are applicable for all start dates between and inclusive of the stated dates.
2026 05 Jan – 13 Dec (excl. Easter week between 29 Mar and 05 Apr and St John’s Day 23/24 Jun)
Season 1 – $2610 05 Jan – 30 Jun and 16 Sep – 13 Dec
Season 2 – $3135 01 Jul – 15 Sep
Worth noting We run this tour from Jan through to Dec. The summer months however (generally from 01 Jul – 15 Sep) can be really busy. More people, more cyclists, busier restaurants, busier hotels etc, so we’d recommend travelling in the Spring or Autumn if you‘re looking for a quieter getaway with less cyclists to share the route with.
Please note We are generally not able to confirm any bookings for this tour made within 4 weeks of departure. Please contact our office if you are looking to book and begin your holiday within this period and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
