Perfect day and very relaxed tour. The uniqueness of the craftsmanship was very much a regional, local experience. We were welcomed into the businesses that were a true extension of their homes. This tour was very personalized and not a cookie cutter tour. If you go Pico, this tour is a must!

An incredible day with a fantastic guide- Lucia was enthusiastically infectious as she took us round Pico. It was not the best of days up on the mountain, but then we also saw the changes which brings its own beauty- and plenty of animals who she knew so well. We had expected a dry, volcanic landscape and were bowled over with the diversity of this island. We had a beautiful lunch with Pico wine. Although the jeep had broken down and we went in a van, I don't think we missed anything too major because of it. Lucia was a careful driver. The lava cave was a first for us. My only regret is that I forgot the 20 euros in my purse was for the pick up at sao roque so I had no tip money for her. A day of surprises, much joy and lasting memories. Thank you Lucia.

4. Banana Trip, a Full day tour at Pico with Round Trip from Faial island

The Banana Trip is a full day cultural tour in Pico island. Usually, we focus on the South coast of Pico island. We will learn about the wine culture and the UNESCO World Heritage vineyards landscape. And we will better understand the importance of the Azores Whaling culture, by visiting a few heritage sites, like the Whaling Museum. A traditional lunch is included at Lajes village. In between, we will appreciate several natural tide pools and visit the interior of the island, Pico Central Plateau. We call it Banana Trip, because the final goal is to visit our own banana plantation. To check and see if there’s a ripe bunch of bananas, ready to harvest. The Banana Trip is a private cultural tour in Pico island that offers an exclusive experience. The price includes all expenses from Faial island and back.
Inclusions: Lunch, Private transportation, Ferry tickets, Certified local guide
Exclusions: Snacks, Bottled water

We did an half day tour in Faial with Pedro Escobar! It was a wonderful trip with so much information about nature and the island features! Faial is a lovely island with diversity and unique spots. I would highly recommend this trip and Our Island team. Pedro is a great guide and we can see he puts his heart and passion in what he does.
5. Pico Mountain - Group> 4

If you have accepted the challenge of climbing Pico Mountain, congratulations! With us, the climb will be at your pace with a dedicated Guide. Calm down because we have all day just for you. Meeting at the "Mountain House", if you do not want "transfer included", it is time to check if we all have the proper equipment, protection, food, water and of course, the camera. Our guide will accompany you along a trail, much of it in very irregular volcanic rock, which will require some effort and care. . Reaching the summit, the effort is rewarded by breathtaking, breathtaking landscapes. First the crater, then the last stage: the Piquinho. This, with its 70 m high, will give more "fight" but inevitable to achieve the goal: 2351 m altitude, the highest point of the island of Pico, the Azores and Portugal. You will also see the 'fumaroles' that show the grandeur of the (dormant) volcano. Land Tours wishes you a good climb!
Inclusions: Accredited guide who can be a driver, Personal accident insurance, All Fees and Taxes, Mountain Entrance Fee

Jaime is an amazing tour guide! He is extremely knowledgeable about everything Sao Jorge and knows all the popular spots as well as local gems. He has a wealth of information and contacts in the Azores. From the best coffee spots, shortcuts and adventure sports (land and water) - Jaime is your guide! Furthermore, He is very punctual and helpful. I was traveling during the holidays where most tourist sites are closed. My next stop was Pico and he reached out to a local contact who helped me with my next tour. He is very genuine. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you Jaime! Until next time!! P.S. He takes great pictures too!!
