The best way hands down to learn about this amazing island is to book the full day tour with Antonio. He is so knowledgeable and professional. It only took until lunch time, to realize that we wanted to extend our time with him, so we scheduled 2 more days of tours that he customized listening to our interests. Bonuses: photography tips that he shares along the way, his fantastic stories, the company van is comfortable and luxurious, lunch at local places, many recommendations. We feel like we made a true friend on the island. I highly recommend any tour with Antonio.

This was our first time going to Terceira and Juca was recommended to us by a co-worker who had been two weeks prior. They spoke very highly of him. We spent three days with him on a private tour and it was everything we could imagine and more. Juca picked us up each day at our hotel and dropped us off at the end of the day. He took us to see things you will not go to on a bus tour. Juca knows this island inside out. He shared with us history and traditional foods and took us to some amazing local restaurants. You know by the way he is recieved and that you are recieved by the locals that he is well respected and they make you feel as though they have known you for years. You tell him what you are looking for as well as the pace you would like to take and he will make it happen. If you want amazing experiences and amazing views and pictures Juca will not disappoint. If we return to Terceira again we will definitely be contacting Juca. 10/10 and then some.

Private and You decide what time to end the tour! According to the defined history the Portuguese were the first to discover the Azores. It was discovered in the year 1427, a total of 591 years a go. What you will see on this tour are much older structures with more of 1000 years located in several points of the Island that do not belong to the Portuguese. These structures belong to civilizations Megalithic e Phoenicians. This last one was discovered by us and explored by one team from the National Geographic. To see this structures you need to make some small hikes in the nature. It´s an unique tour! If you want to know more information about this tour, please contact us by email.

Terceira Island owns charming landscapes, which you won’t be able do disregard. In this tour, we take you to some of the best belvederes of the island, that offer panoramic view. Blended in Terceira Island rural landscape, we find Serra da Ribeirinha viewpoint, having the green fields as a backdrop. To highlight the landscape, we will find the lush 'Ilhéus das Cabras', volcanic formations that we observe from Serretinha Viewpoint, which deserves our attention! Serra do Facho Belvedere is another point not to miss! From its summit, we observe the beautiful landscape over Vitorino Nemésio’s City, in Praia da Vitória. The best way to get lost and find yourself at the same time is to contemplate the stunning landscape of the patchwork blanket view that Serra do Cume Belvedere offers. You will be as dazzled as we are, day after day! We recommend you not to forget your camera, so that you can perpetuate every moment! What are you waiting for, to choose this tour?

This Tours is focused on all the amazing Volcanology this island has to offer! First we visit Algar do Carvão, an unique volcanic cone that can be visited from the inside making it unique in the world! We then visit the island hotsprings and the amazing Natal Cave which is a lava tube that you can visit from the inside. The majority of this tour is around the island big caldera which not only has our wild bulls living in it but also the biggest native plant collection on the Azores! Both of the Caves are included in the final price! The island Caves open on afternoon time (14pm - 18pm summer / 1430pm - 1730pm winter) which means this tour starts at 14pm local time. During rainy days there's a chance the trails might be muddy, so bring confortable shoes you don't mind getting dirty.
