Half day Cave tour in Terceira - A very informative tour of the internal part of Terceira! The Gruta Do Natal (Christmas Cave) was a must see. The waves at the natural pools of Biscoitos were amazing! Our tour guide Carlitas was very knowledgeable and friendly! A great way to spend an afternoon!

A sensational view of the nature of the island Terceira - Amélia is a sensational guide and provided an amazing, lively, full of information tour. The tour offers a quite varied view of Terceira’s geography, and the weather even made us experience the four seasons of the year in one afternoon. A great way to explore the nature of the island in its most peculiar aspects.

Exploring Terceira - Exploring the Terceira with James was an unforgettable experience. He guided us through the island's rich history, fascinating caves, and the charming Biscoitos, sharing his immense knowledge every step of the way. James was not only incredibly informative but also exceptionally kind, approachable, and equipped with a fantastic sense of humor. His warm personality and storytelling turned the trip into a truly memorable adventure. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Azores!

A must do tour - The tour was amazing. Algar do Carvão is the must if you visiting Terceira: a unique experience. I don't sure are there other place where you can look at the sky from the inside of volcano. All other destinations were also beautiful, especially the ducks on the lagoon - I didn't expect this in volcano tour. There is a lot of cave photos here already, so I add ducks. Andre is the best guide I ever met. He's very knowledgeable, friendly and told us a lot about the geology and nature of Azores, and also about the local culture and history.
I highly recommend this tour for everybody interesting in nature. It definitely worth the price.
