Best time to visit the Azores from India
April through September is the best period with temperatures of 18C to 24C and the best conditions for whale watching, hiking, and diving. June through August are the busiest months. October through March can be windier and rainier. The Azores is a year-round destination due to its mild Atlantic climate. April and May are particularly popular with nature lovers for whale watching season opening.
The main international gateway is João Paulo II Airport (PDL) in Ponta Delgada on São Miguel. It has 4G coverage throughout the terminal. Your HelloRoam eSIM connects immediately on landing.
SATA Air Açores operates inter-island flights to all nine islands. Each island's airport has basic 4G in the terminal. Ferries operate between the central island group (São Miguel, Terceira, Faial, Pico, São Jorge, Graciosa, Flores) in summer.
Inter-island sea crossings have no mobile coverage in open water. Indian travellers should activate their eSIM before the flight so navigation and ride-hailing apps work on arrival.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
