Horta Maritime Terminal: ferry and cruise ships
Ferry passengers. We run transfers between the Horta Maritime Terminal and your accommodation, the airport or any other point on the island. Tell us the day, the expected arrival time and the ferry connection you are travelling on.
Cruise ship passengers. We meet passengers from ships calling at the port of Horta, for a visit to the island or a ride to the airport. Tell us the ship’s name, the day and the scheduled port call times.
The pick-up points can be different for ferry and cruise passengers, so we confirm the meeting point with you in advance.
