Full description
Start the tour by visiting Monte Brasil, where you can see the Fortress of São João Baptista, built by the Spanish after their arrival in 1583. Enjoy fantastic views of the UNESCO World Heritage City of Angra do Heroísmo. Proceed along the southeast of Terceira Island towards the villages of Ribeirinha, Feteira, and São Sebastião. See beautiful natural landmarks such as Ilhéus das Cabras and Baía da Salga, culminating in a visit to the island's oldest church. Next, stop at Serra do Cume, a viewpoint located in Terceira's largest "caldeira". Observe the vast expanse of agricultural fields spread out the island. Then, enjoy some free time for lunch in the charming town of Praia da Vitória. In the afternoon continue along the northern coast of the island and visit the Biscoitos Natural Swimming Pools. Have an optional visit to Algar do Carvão, an empty volcanic chimney, that should take about 30-40 minutes (ticket not included). In the return to your hotel, don't miss more outstanding beauty of the central part of the island. Among other things, you can see the brave bulls in their natural habitat.

It was a very good choice, because it gave us the opportunity to see the main spots in the island and at the same time with a fantastic guide. Our guide, Mr. Paulo, has a great knowledge of the island as well as its history. His sympathy made also this trip a very pleasant, cultural and interesting time spent together. Thank you Mr Paulo, for your patience, for allowing us to take photos to remember this pleasant journey.

There was a bit of a mix up with the Agency .. they missed our pick up but we’re quick to find us a guide and completed the full day in just a different order - Guide was very knowledgeable and super friendly - his pride of the island was evident and made the day that much more enjoyable - Terceira is a beautiful island highly recommend.

This was a great tour of the island with an engaging and knowledgeable local guide. We were lucky to be the only ones on this tour so we could spend as much time as we wanted at each stop. The various views of the island were amazing and the other visits (churches, beaches, etc) were really interesting. The highlight was going down inside the (dormant) volcano - one of a very few of its type in the world. The trip allowed us to see so much more of the island than we could have done on our own. Our guide recommended a couple of places for lunch and the one we chose provided good food at a reasonable price. The vehicle was extremely comfortable and our guide was a careful and considerate driver. All in all, I think this was the best day of our week in Terceira and we would highly recommend this tour and this company.
