Fun and Beautiful - The tour was very exciting! It was a great way to see the countryside and a bit of the forests on the island. We also loved the opportunity to stop and try cheese. Thanks for a great day!

A great way to see the island - Great trip, great guiding, a great way to see the west of the island! Not too challenging terrain, suitable for everyone, yet still adventurous.

Spring/April Buggy UTV Tour, we loved it!! - My friend and I really enjoyed the UTV buggy tour on the western side of the island. João (owner and tour guide) was great. He gave us instructions on our meeting spot & would have picked us up if we were in the city. We didn’t need a ride but we thought that was a great added service. The location was easy to find & the UTV tour was absolutely wonderful! Filled with picturesque scenes and ocean views, we also felt very safe. The terrain was fun. There was a great variety of roads and small hills, fun dirt roads but also exciting to drive in a UTV in the village (personal favourite for me) and in my opinion, one of the best ways to see the western side of the island. We loved it and João was awesome!

A great day in the country - The tour operator made sure we were comfortable in the machines ad we drove a few kilometers on good roads to confirm the handling and then we spent the remainder of the time travelling on roads you would never take a car on. Overall very enjoyable and a view of the island a tourist would not likely see another way. The tour operator was very good about answering any questions we had and talked about the future of dairy farming on the island.

A Magical, Breathtaking Buggy Ride - This was an INCREDIBLE experience — I would come back to Terceira just for this tour alone. Riding 4x4s up through the pastures and cloud forests was nothing short of magical—- DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS! I travel a lot, and I think this one of the best tours I’ve ever been on.

Incredible adventure - Well, I think it is mandatory to do this experiment. We think it's a fantastic way to see the western part of the island. Get your dose of adrenaline with road and rural routes and incredible landscapes. We had some rain in the morning so the paths were muddy but it was an incredible adventure! Wear clothes that can get dirty. Suitable for couples, individuals or with children. It's a great option for those who don't have as much time to hike and walk. Mr. João was great. Very competent and relaxed! We repeat: it is a must for anyone who likes adventure and wants to get to know the island!

sightseeing can be fun - This is the best way to have fun and experience the beautiful island at the same time. It's safe even for smaller children (with child seat).
