Amazing Day with an Amazing Guide - We spent an amazing day with an amazing guide who showed us his favourite spots on Pico Island. Pick-up was prompt and the guide took us around the island, offering us many different views of Pico. The weather wasnt cooperating but we still had a great day. We loved the earthquake museum that included an earthquake simulation and seeing the unique vineyards and how the grapes are grown. Lunch was local, fresh and good. We highly recommend this day trip to anyone if you want to see the real Pico.

Excellent Tour of Pico - Filippe was a wonderful tour guide. He took us to a whaling museum, a volcano simulator, a walk through a vineyard, and other spots. Lunch was a buffet at a local restaurant. We tasted local cornbread and cheeses. Lunch included wine and dessert!

Great way to see the Pico island. - Our tour guide was Filipe. Our ferry from Horta was delayed so we were late for about 15 minutes. The weather was cloudy and it was going to be rainy, so Filipe rearranged our schedule for the day, to have outdoor activities first. Good lunch is included in price. Filipe knows well the Pico island and shared with us lots of interesting facts. We were lucky to find Monstera Deliciosa fruit and tried it, it tasted like pina colada. If you’re still thinking - don’t think and just book this tour and enjoy!

Fantastic day with Terralta Nature Tours. - Our guide was Gabriel. A very nice and engaging young man. He was happy to answer all our questions and any accommodations we requested. He was very knowledgeable of the history of the islands as well as current events.
Thank you Terralta Nature Tours and Gabriel for a fantastic day. We are so glad we picked you for your tour of the great island of Pico, Azores.

Good way to see a variety of sights - Overall this was a great way to see many of the key sights of the island, and Gabriel, our guide, was very friendly, easygoing, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the day and were glad we did this tour give how limited time we had on the island. The group also was very lively and got along well despite having different first languages.
A watchout that others also called out: if the trip is full, it's a very cozy ride in the car without AC. I could see why some reviewers found it less than comfortable. Luckily, it worked out for our group space-wise and comfort-wise.
We also didn't read the details closely enough (our fault) and thought we were doing both Gruta das Torres and Casa dos vulcões. One recommendation for Terralta: our group went to Casa dos vulcoes, and I personally would have enjoyed Gruta das Torres more as it seems more unique to the island and adventurous. Not sure how your other travelers feel, but Casa dos vulcoes with the 10-min video and "earthquake simulator" felt anti-climatic—though we did learn a lot and I'm sure some folks enjoy it.
Thanks for a great day!

The perfect mix to discover nature and heritage of Pico - Visit the island of Pico in “private” mode because we were the only guests.
Beautiful landscapes and very varied between vineyards, mountains and ocean.
Gabriel our Guide is very considerate and adapts to our desires. You can even swim in the natural pools during the day to cool off... top.
And the icing on the cake: making the trip in a Land Rover that could very well do for a safari in Africa, it gives an even more exotic and fun side.
Thanks, Gabriel.

Worst 4x4 drive at Pico - Actually, we decided to cancel because we didn’t like the organization of the tour
We have expected that it would be a nice 4x4 car with AC and a good guide that would do the tour in English
On the contrary we received quite old Land Cruiser that has no AC and has quite hard seats
The guide has spoken Portuguese with the whole group, and was speaking to us in English only when we asked him questions (not proactively)
So we have paid 200 euros just for non comfortable car with the driver that showed us 2 lakes and 2 viewpoints, and when we visited the natural pool, we didn’t even swim there (just looked at the other people how they swam😂)
Quite disappointing experience if you look from this perspective
Far more better to visit Azores wine company and do the wine tasting there
