Azores Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Wonderful tour through the mountain and valley

An amazing experience in the Azores! We saw whales and dolphins in their natural habitat, surrounded by beautiful ocean scenery. The crew was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. Absolutely worth it and highly recommended!

Great group - we didn’t see any whales because of the season but saw a lot of dolphins. They accommodated my previous injury and took great care of us, making sure we enjoyed the ride.

Carolina was a fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable guide. We had a great day, lots of insight into Terceira and the Azores, great stops and a very tasty lunch.We can't recommend this tour enough!

Mario was an excellent guide, who was incredibly knowledgeable about the island. He was able to answer all of our random questions, was generous with his time, and really customized the day to exactly what we wanted to see. Perfect for a group traveling together.

Amateur friendly, not to expensive, the guide take her/his time to explain the mountain as you climb it

A great hike for adventure folks - be warned though. It’s not an easy hike 🥾The sunrise is so rewarding and we had a great guide (Isabel)!

Carolina picked us up from our hotel and provided us with a fabulous tour of lovely Terceira island in her comfortable and stylish vehicle. She was so informative, gave us all the time we needed at each destination, and was great company. We would completely and unreservedly recommend booking one of her tours.

This was a fun activity for both my husband and I. We were able to see many different things as we travelled to several areas around the island.

I had a good communication, as there was a bug by default in the App for the reservation I couldn't go. Information for other guests: just be careful that there is no pick up point if you want to go even if the App Cool Destinations says so. Marta helped me but sadly I had to do somethink else

Tomás was such a sweet and great host throughout the tuktuk experience. My parents loved the experience he had planned and all the areas we explored throughout Ponta Delgada and some parts of Lagoa. Highly recommend to do this on arrival day, it’s a great way to get out and see the surroundings with a local who has pride in his origins and is eager to share it with us. Tomás, keep up the great work and energy, you are a true gem👍🏻

This snorkeling experience was truly one of the highlights of our trip to the Azores! We had the opportunity to see a great deal of species, with amazing diversity that made the experience incredibly rewarding. Our guide, Manuel, was exceptional. Besides being very knowledgeable about all the marine life we encountered, he made sure everyone felt comfortable in the water and ensured that each person had the chance to see everything clearly. Emanuel was an exemplary captain who not only guaranteed our safety at all times but was also very fun and engaging, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere on the boat. Marta was also very kind and friendly. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Azores. It is definitely an experience we would repeat! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent day fishing. Captain Roberto and his helper were wonderful. We caught fish at every stop and ended up with quite a few by the end of the trip. We caught trigger and a red fish mostly. Saw some sharks :)

The Faial Ten Volcanoes Tour with Our Island Tours was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. From my initial inquiry through the day of the tour, everything was handled quickly and professionally.Our guide, Luis, was fantastic. He has been doing these tours for several years and clearly loves being outdoors and sharing his knowledge of Faial. He was very knowledgeable about the local flora and trees and did a great job adjusting the pace to our needs and preferences.We hiked for about five to five and a half hours. It wasn’t an extremely difficult hike, but it definitely wasn’t an easy walk either, with plenty of ups and downs. The scenery was beautiful and incredibly varied—we walked through woods, pastures, and areas filled with flowers, with some sections cool and misty, others windy and exposed, and still others peaceful and protected. It was amazing to experience so many different landscapes in one hike.We chose not to complete the entire trail so we could have some time in Horta before catching the ferry back to Pico, but was very happy with the decision.Overall, it was a beautiful and memorable day. Luis was knowledgeable, personable, and attentive, and the company was professional throughout. If I return to the Azores, I would definitely book additional tours with Our Island Tours. Highly recommended!

A must do introduction to the island and the Azores. Tomas was a delight. Funny, knowledgeable and accommodating.

We had a fantastic experience on the “Full Day – The Best of Terceira Island” tour with Azores on Route. The itinerary is incredibly convenient and covers most of the places and highlights that you really should see when visiting Terceira. It was a great way to get a comprehensive feel for the island in just one day.A special shout-out to our guide, Pedro, who was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable about Terceira’s history, nature, culture, and all the important things we were seeing along the way. He shared lots of interesting information and really helped us understand and appreciate the island.The minivan was also super comfortable and very clean. We were incredibly lucky to have a very small group, which made the experience even better — we had plenty of time at each stop without feeling rushed.Overall, this was an excellent way to explore Terceira, especially if you want to see the island’s main highlights in a well-organized and comfortable day. Highly recommended!
