Azores Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Our day with Carolina was wonderful. We did the private tour and we went all around the island making stops along the way. We could even stop for a while to watch the cows move from one pasture to another. Carolina was born on the island and is truly a local. She is fully knowledgeable about the history of the island, both politically and about the nature of the island. Her van is comfortable. We had a great day.

Friendly, passionate team providing great experience. Saw both whales and dolphins, crew went the extra mile to ensure we saw both.

It was incredible. The day was clear and my guide Alfonso Silva took good care of me. He is a very nowledgeable person with patience and kindness. I learned so much about Terceira and also the other islands of Azores. I had a great day. Thank you Alfonso.

Very well organised trip, didnt see whales but did see 3 different types of dolphin. The trip provider was very proffesional and the catamaran was comfortable.

Had a very pleasant, fun and informative half day tour with our guide Felipe. The lava tunnels and volcanic mouth tube are a must see if you visit Terceira island.

The sunrise tour on Pico with GoClimbPico was an unforgettable experience! Raisa as a guide was totally motivating & funny and ensured a good group dynamic, and guided us super through the quite steep ascent (and descent). Hiking at night with headlamps under the clearest starry sky was already a great experience in itself, but reaching the summit shortly before sunrise and "waiting" for the sun with coffee and chocolate from Raisa was magnificent! We were totally lucky with the weather conditions, and small clouds only moved in during the descent, so we had a magnificent view and every phase of the sunrise was simply magical. Would do it again anytime and can 100% recommend the tour via GoClimbPico. A certain level of basic fitness should be present. On our tour in September, several warm layers of clothing, at least one of them windproof, and a hood/headband/beanie as well as thin gloves were very useful.

Carlos and Rafael were very thorough and explained everything. The views at every stop were exceptional. You really experienced the views from multiple sites. Truly a fantastic trip. Toni

This is a unique active adventure of the waterfalls. João, our guide was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and helpful. We went at our pace, saw beautiful signs we wouldn’t have know existed on this island if we didn’t take this tour. Highly recommended!!

Had a very nice afternoon with Rafael. He was friendly, informative, funny and helpful. Would definitely recommend this experience to everyone.

Manuel and Emanuel are super cool Guides/Skippers. They are very patient and have a great sence of humor. :) we laughed alot, saw many fish and most we loved the speed on the boat. Thank you (E)Manuel!!

Wonderful tour through the mountain and valley

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!

A truly fabulous experience, top-notch guides, clear explanations, abundant wildlife. We loved it!

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

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👍🏻
