Pico with Kevin was the best!
What a wonderful tour of Pico! Even though our hotel was almost an hour away from the starting point, for a little extra money, Kevin picked us up in Madalena and the fun began!When they say you can experience all four seasons in one day, we sure did! But that didn’t deter Kevin one bit. He made sure we saw everything we wanted to, and should see on the island! We even went back to a few places to make sure we saw them when the clouds cleared.The entire day was perfectly paced, enjoyable (despite having to dry out from a heavy rain) and incredibly informative. Kevin knew the island so well and was able to answer all our questions. He also has a great sense of humor and was the perfect guide for us!Lunch was delicious, and mostly homegrown. The tomatoes were quite tasty!Private tours may cost a little extra, but they are well worth it! You see so much more and get to know your guide and the local culture so much better.Thanks, Kevin for an unforgettable day!

Great Pico Tour
Our experience with Terralta Tours in Pico, Azores was absolutely wonderful! What made it so special was being guided by a father-and-son team who were so proud and passionate about sharing their beautiful island with us. Exploring Pico in their Land Rover made the experience feel truly authentic and gave us the opportunity to see places we never would have discovered on our own.
They took us to enjoy a delicious traditional lunch, which was one of the highlights of the day, and they went above and beyond to make us feel like family. To top it all off, they even welcomed us into their family home to share a birthday shot with us—a truly unexpected and incredibly meaningful gesture!
Their warmth, hospitality, knowledge, and genuine love for Pico made this tour unforgettable. We left feeling like we had experienced not just the island, but a little piece of their family and culture. We highly recommend Terralta Tours to anyone visiting Pico—you will not be disappointed!

Mount Pico Guided Climb – Summit Portugal’s Highest Peak431aleksandrsm, Aug 2026
Great tour, recomended to everyone.
A greatly organized tour with an amazing guide, Bruno. He was very patient and knowledgeable. One of us rolled an ankle on the mountain, which added an extra 2.5 hours to our descent, and Bruno helped us every step of the way.

Unique experience in the Azores sea.
Very good experience, the guide and boat captain did everything to let us see as many animals as possible, very friendly, they collected abandoned fishing gear along the way. It was excellent, we recommend!

A remarkable day
Remarkable guidance and explanations (volcanism, fauna, flora, etc.), delicious picnic. Kevin helped us discover sites, paths, and viewpoints that we would not have reached on our own. He is a very attentive guide; he equipped us with helmets to visit a cave (lava tunnel): unique!

Highlight and essential experience!
The night climb on Mount Pico was by far the highlight of our trip to the Azores!We did the night climb with Matteo as a tour guide and we were impressed by how involved and professional the team was. They even contacted us to ask if we wanted to change our tour date, because we would then have a better chance of clear weather. This was communicated very nicely and clearly, and we were extremely happy with that. It has made our experience even more beautiful!We had a wonderful night: we saw the Milky Way, shooting stars, and finally a fantastic sunrise from the top.Matteo made our experience truly unforgettable and also made sure everyone climbed safely, for example, checking if our shoes were properly laced and if everyone felt well. He gave clear instructions, paid a lot of personal attention to everyone, took a huge number of photos and videos that we now look back on with great pleasure. He also told interesting information about the volcano and the surroundings.There were four of us and we had the best time together.Matteo, thanks so much for this amazing experience! And never forget... TRUST THE LAVA!Really an absolute recommendation!!

The Perfect Azorean Experience
This was a perfect choice for guidance around the island of Pico. Silvia (our perfect guide) was very knowledgeable on both the geographics & history of the wine vineyards. She was very friendly, caring, & loads of fun. Every minute spent with her was entertaining, relaxing, & full of information. Paulo at the winery was also very informative & entertaining. His passion of the wine industry & his knowledge was unmatched. I thank you both for a wonderful experience & friendship we had encountered. Also, I would like to thank Natacha (our private chef) for an awesome spread, the food & preparation was delightful. If you are searching for a great Azorean experience, look no further than their website!!Sincerely,
R.A. Correa
