My friend and I visited the Azores in December and wanted to hike. This tour was amazing!! Andre was our guide and was incredible! He was very knowledgeable and genuinely wanted us to enjoy his island. He knows many languages and spoke English beautifully. The hike is about 2.5 hrs plus time to stop and take pictures. It can be steep and thin/muddy trails so I would recommend water, hiking shoes, and good health (if you aren’t regularly active I believe this would be difficult to hike). We heard during peak tourist season this trial is crazy busy but we LOVED our off season experience!! Weather was perfect! After André packed us a beautiful picnic and answered all the questions we had. Highly recommend this tour if you want to experience nature and André to help you understand the beautiful of the azores!

This was our first trip to the Azores and our first experience. We booked a hiking tour and it was so much more. Vasco P. picked us up on time and was a delightful companion - smart, knowledgable, and eager to share the many aspects of his beloved island. We talked non-stop for 8 hours and spent time with both local people and in the stunningly gorgeous scenery. The hike was steep at first but otherwise very manageable. we would recommend Vasco and this spectacular day for anyone visiting the Azores for the first time or the hundredth time,

The view was amazing and the hike was nice. We are just waiting for some pictures he took of us at the waterfalls when we were swimming.

Really enjoyed this 2 hour hike in the mountains around Faial da Terra. The start of the hike was very challenging but afterwards it was nice and steady with a stop at a beautiful waterfall where you can have a dip if you wish. After the hike we had some time to relax by the ocean and our knowledgeable guide Miguel even took us for a cup of tea to the Gorrena Tea Plantation and stopped at St Iria viewpoint which are not a part of the tour. Please note that if your hike takes longer you may have no time for extra stuff. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

Très belle petite randonnée jusqu'à une belle cascade. Démarrage qui grimpe beaucoup mais pour de beaux paysages.
