HOW TO TRAVEL BETWEEN THE ISLANDS
You can travel between the islands by boat or by plane. If you want to travel by boat to another island, you can book your ticket in Futurismo Azores Adventures shop. We provide this service in our activity center in Portas do Mar, Ponta Delgada harbour. The public boat connections are operated by Atlanticoline company and you can travel with your car as well.
Travel Between Islands By Boat
Year-round, there are three routes available:
- Green Line: Faial, Pico and São Jorge Islands
- Blue Line: Faial and Pico (Madalena) Islands
- Pink Line: Flores and Corvo Islands
During the summertime, it is possible to travel between all the islands with the Yellow Line. This route does not include Corvo Island because the connections are year-round with the Pink Line.
Travel By Plane Between the Islands
The flights between islands are operated by Azores Airlines. It is the fastest way to go from an island to another. For example, a flight connection between São Miguel Island and Terceira Island is only 30 minutes, and a trip between São Miguel and Pico Island is around 50 minutes.
