Super guide, (Patricio). Very small group of 4 for us. If you’re interested in volcanos this is great. So you’re prepared, there’s a place where you have to be able to crouch to pass through, and another where water will drip on you. Would wear shoes with tread if possible

We spontaneously booked a tour with Azores Nature Tours (one day in advance) for our second day on Terceira, and we did not get disappointed. We were the only guests - which was of course a big advantage, but also our tour guide (Emilia) turned the tour into a great experience. We received a lot of information about the caves and vulcanos of the island, and still got enough time for us to enjoy all of it. It was a lot of fun, and we can highly recommend the tour!

A complete tour of the most important underground points of the island of Terceira. No rush, in a nice atmosphere and lots of information about the Azores.

We had a great time on this tour. The caves we saw were absolutely amazing and well worth the visit, as they are very rare natural phenomena. Especially the 'Algar do Carvao' - it was beautiful, and such a unique place to see. The 'cathedral' is jaw-dropping. Our tour guide, Amelia, was great. While on the ride to see different places, she talked to us about the island, its history, and traditions. It was such a positive experience. I highly recommend taking this tour.
