You want to do this tour! - I was lucky enough to get a spot the night before the tour, and I am so glad I did! Our guide was very knowledgeable and clearly loves the island. I will recommend the tour to anyone who visits. You get to see the island and its amazing views from all angles.

Wonderful team! - It was my first trip alone, and I couldn't have chosen better company! Jaime and Amélia are very professional, friendly, always punctual and very knowledgeable about the island. I took two excursions with them, one to the center of the island, the other around the island and even a transfer to the airport! I highly recommend it!

A great day out with Amelia - Great day out with our guide Amelia, who was very enthusiastic about her island and sharing her knowledge with us. It was an ideal way to start our stay on Terceira - a good way to orient ourselves and have a good overview of the island and various activities. Amelia was really friendly and helpful!

The Best way to discover Terceira Island - Full Day Island Van Tour - Azores Nature Tours and Amelia....thank you so much for a very special day! The Full Day Island Van Tour is definitely the way to see Terceira Island. So many highlights...the views from Monte Brasil are incredible and Serra do Cume was breathtaking....it really looks like a patchwork quilt! But the highlight of this tour was Biscoitos--the natural lava swimming pools. Incredible and obviously loved my many because it was Sunday and full of families having fun, eating, swimming and enjoying this spectacular Natures paradise. And the powerful Atlantic Ocean really showed off for us!! I would highly recommend the Full Day Island Van Tour with Azores Nature Tours. Thank you so much Amelia for a truly memorable day!

A wonderful day - The day couldn't have been better, Amélia (the guide) is a fantastic person, for us she was someone we will definitely remember when we talk about our trip to Terceira Island. He demonstrated a lot of knowledge about the island throughout the entire route and even small curiosities that we were asking about the island, both on a historical and cultural level. It will always be 100% recommended by us as we want to come back and enjoy other experiences they have available. We were left with beautiful photos and videos to remember our Honeymoon.

Woohoow - This island tour in combination with our wonderful guide Amalia delivered us the best day we could ask for. She radiates so much love for the island and taught us a lot of history and fun facts. The vibes were immaculate and we enjoyed it to the last second. She gave us always the right amount of time to explore and take pictures. We got a private tour because we were the only ones who booked the tour that day and she gave us her all. Truly a wonderful experience. We will remember this tour and strongly recommend going. - Bene and Vi
