Travel and transport agencies Praia Da Vitória

Teles Travel was the first travel agency to set up in the Azores about half a century ago. Today it is a major player in tourism in the Azores. The team is committed to providing excellent service to tourists: proximity, competence, team spirit, dynamism, passion and integrity. You will be able to make various excursions and discover Terceira: visit Angra do Heroísmo, the Algar do Carvao cave, climb Monte Brasil... The options are endless! A serious and friendly agency.

The local bus company offers a range of daily routes. The tourist office will give you a leaflet with timetables and routes.

Atlanticoline, the Azores' main shipping company, operates a ferry service between Praia da Vitória and Graciosa, only from June to September. This line (the white one) also passes through São Jorge, Pico and Faial. For the rest of the year, Terceira is not connected to the other islands by boat, so you'll have to fly to get between them. Note that Atlanticoline operates a second line in summer (the purple one) from Angra do Heroísmo to Calheta, on São Jorge. For travellers who have the time and inclination to travel differently.

A very friendly, responsive and honest cab driver who speaks very good English. He covers the whole island of Terceira and will be at your service for transfers between the various towns, the airport and the tourist sites. An added bonus: he knows his island inside out, and will be able to give you lots of historical and practical information on its points of interest. Safe driving and a clean vehicle; in short, impeccable service.
