We did a Terceira island day trip with Pristine Azores. We had an outstanding time, and Filipe was a very gracious and warm host. We highly recommend them without any reservations. We had them pick us up at the airport so we could start our trip with an island overview tour (and save the cost of transport to our hotel in Angra). That was a mistake on our part. We were jet lagged beyond belief. Filipe took us for some coffee, and that jolted us awake for a bit, but we got ugly tired later in the day...more on that later, and totally our fault. It was just me and my wife on the tour, which was wonderful. We started by seeing the sights in Praia, then went up back roads to the windmills, then around the island, through Biscoitos. Terceira weather is notoriously fickle, and our tour day was no exception. It was cold and rainy in the mountains, and we couldn't see anything from the viewpoints in the morning, but it was still exhilarating and a lot of fun. Filipe took us to a winery in Biscoitos, which was outstanding. We sampled a number of Azorean wines, and bought a bottle for later. We then went to a local restaurant, and had a delicious typical Azorean meal, with more wine. After great food and more wine and a comfortable vehicle ride, we were spent. We were not good company for the next hour or two...sleeping between stops, but when we were awake, we saw amazing vistas of the island and over the ocean, and Filipe showed us local spots we'd never have found on our own. As the weather cleared, the island just got better and more beautiful. Filipe was really well versed on the local flora and fauna and he was the consummate host. We ended up on Monte Brasil. Late in the afternoon, Filipe dropped us at our hotel and we went immediately to bed. It was really a spectacular day, and you should do a tour with Pristine Azores. But next time, we'd choose not to do it on our first day...totally our overestimation of our capabilities to overcome jet lag.

Itineraries idealized for landscape and nature photography lovers. When the first rays of light peek, the tripods will be already assembled, or you can say goodbye to the sun taking unique images of the Golden Hour. An awesome photographic experience in the Azores islands.

We live here on Terceira temporarily with the US military so we’ve seen a lot of the island on our own. But it was on of our guys last weekends and one guy hadn’t been here very long. This trip was absolutely everything we could have asked for. The island is beautiful and the food and wine and moonshine was delicious!! Our tour guide was so funny and made the tour! Highly recommend even if you live here it was nice to be able to drink and not worry about driving.

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.
