Created in 2004, this agency offers various and complete services. Here you can rent your car, scooter or bike to get around the island. You can also rent canoes and jet-skis to have fun on the Azorean waters. Finally, the agency can also organise sea trips (cetacean sightings in particular), as well as excursions all over Terceira (guided tours). Possibility to organize transfers from/to the airport. You can book all your activities online.

Turangra is a travel agency specializing in local tours. It organizes nature or sea excursions, and tours around each of the archipelago's islands with a variety of activities (hiking, canyoning, canoeing, bike or jeep tours...). A serious and highly recommended agency for your outings in the Azores. The practical website also lets you book hotels on all the islands (or make combinations) and rent vehicles. Requests and quotes can be made online.

The local bus company offers various daily routes, although it's not the ideal way to get around the island. The tourist office will give you a leaflet with timetables and routes. You can also consult the timetables on the website. These include

Line 1: Biscoitos - Angra; Line 2: Angra - Praia; Line 3: Raminho - Praia; Line 5: Juncal - Angra; Line 7: Porto Judeu - Angra; Line 151: Praia - Lajes (airport).

From June to September, Atlanticoline, the Azores' main shipping company, offers a single itinerary via Angra do Heroísmo. This is the purple line: Faial (Horta) - Madalena (Pico) - Calheta (São Jorge) - Terceira (Angra do Heroísmo). There is a direct connection between Angra and Calheta, on São Jorge. For the other islands, there will be stopovers. To reach Graciosa by ferry, the route is also direct, but departure is from the port of Praia da Vitória (white line). In winter, there is no ferry from Terceira.

This car rental agency is new to the island, but it's already a success! With a fleet of just two cars, Flavio provides a high-quality, professional service. Very accommodating and flexible, he can pick up and/or return the car at two locations on the island: near the fort of São Sebastião in Angra, or directly at Lajes airport. You'll be greeted with a friendly welcome and briefed on the vehicle's features, and Flavio remains available and responsive in the event of any problems. A safe bet.
