This is a different kind of golf trip, this is Leaderboard Travel! It's the Experience that Counts

Every detail in this trip was designed with the golfer and non-golfer in mind.

While it may have been tough to convince your significant other, friends or family that don't play to come along on the golf trip, this experience proves to be the best of both worlds and caters to all. We've carefully crafted an itinerary that ensures everyone gets exactly what they want, while sharing the magic of the Azores together!

Golfers will enjoy a warm up 9 holes, and then three 18 hole rounds at the island of Sao Miguel's two incredible tracks, Batalha and Furnas Golf Courses, over the course of the five day itinerary. Sao Miguel is called the green island, but golfers will also take in plenty of blue ocean vistas, and possibly see some black volcanic sand in the bunkers along the way. 

Non-golfers will enjoy a relaxing spa circuit, a walking tour of historic and beautiful Ponta Delgada, a guided hike through verdant hills, and a Choose-Your-Own Adventure Day on a professionally guided excursion, all during the very same hours the golfers are hacking around.

Our professional logistics team will see to it that everyone meets up after rounds to share sightseeing, soaks in natural thermal baths, and group meals. It's the perfect vacation, and it's all set up for you.

We've even built in a full free day if you want to take a break from swinging the sticks, and would rather go canyoning, take a surf lesson, go for a hike, relax in the spa, or SO MUCH more. Our experience managers will visit daily to make sure that you are comfortable with the itinerary, have reservations as desired, and are set up to make the most of your 6 days!

The purchase of travel insurance is required for this trip.

SolSeed is not authorized to sell travel insurance. Any offer to purchase travel insurance that you encounter during the checkout process are third party offers. You are free to select your own policy provider. If you would like to review options in a convenient online marketplace, we like what www.insuremytrip.com has put together. We've also had great experiences with the customer service and packages at Trawick International, AAA and American Express.

We strongly encourage you to speak with a travel insurance agent to discuss your specific coverage needs, and to clear up any questions you may have relative to travel insurance coverage.
