Great day to spend time touring around the island in a jeep. - We had the best guide and we thoroughly enjoyed his tour. He took us places with his jeep that cars wouldn’t be able to go. He was fun and very friendly.

Terceira Island Tour - My husband and I booked this excursion in September 2023. From start to finish it was a blast. Pickup was easy, our guide Carolina was very knowledgeable and friendly, and this was an efficient way to do a full trip around the island. Travelling in a 4x4 Jeep the entire time, this trip includes a stop at Mount Brazil, next to an active military base in a historic site, overlooking the city of Angra do Heroismo. We drove in the countryside to various viewpoints, through the old American Air Force Base, and through a nature preserve that features solely species endemic to the Azores. We stopped for lunch to enjoy some local wine, a homemade traditional stew with a variety of breads and cheeses, and some moonshine at the end. Lastly, we stopped at the Materramenta winery for a tour and tasting experience. This tour was an amazing experience and we recommend it to anyone who wants to get an overview of all of Terceira. Note that we did find the title slightly misleading, as it gives off a “booze cruise” kind of vibe, but it is a small group tour touching on many different aspects of life on Terceira.

Wonderful day. Highly recommended. - You've already seen numerous pictures of beautiful Terciera. This trip is a great way to experience the real thing. So here's a picture of a "Terceira Traffic Jam". :) Carolina was a wonder guide. Riding with her felt like a friend showing us her wonderful island and culture (and the food and drinks were good too).

A Tour Not to be Missed! - We cannot say enough good things about this tour and Pro Island Tours! Antonio was an amazing guide who took us places we never would have seen on other tours. We saw breathtaking views, natural pools, beautiful sea views, historical buildings, and had a fantastic lunch! Antonio made us feel right at home and we loved the tour so much we took a second tour with him the next day. We also attend a running of the bulls in his village. We will be back!

Caramel Anish - We have been to the island many times but young Antonio shared some unknown deep wood locations. The whole team was very professional and served us a great lunch with caramel Anish made by Antonio Sr. Highly recommend!!!!

Tour beyond expectations - This was a stunning trip. We had reviewed previous comments but in reality this surpassed all expectations. Antonio took such care of us. He's extremely knowledgeable, funny and adores his beautiful surroundings. The pride he has in Terceira is evident during every second of this tour. It was such a memorable experience for us and we'll be recommending this to anyone who is lucky enough to visit Terceira.

The highlight of my trip. - I don’t even know where to begin, other than to say this was one of the best, most memorable experiences I’ve ever had ANYWHERE. Our guide was extraordinary, so knowledgeable, and a lot of fun. I can’t think of a better way to get oriented to the island and see all of the amazing places you can visit. The food was incredible, the wine was incredible, and I am 1000% doing this again when I come back (and I am coming back!). Can’t thank you enough for a great memory for me and my mom.

So much more than moonshine! - All I can I can say is Wow! What an incredible day we had! If you only could do one tour while in Terceira, THIS IS IT. We saw this island through a local’s eye and were able to experience the beauty of Terceira. Antonio was accommodating and made us feel like family. The food and drinks spectacular and the salad dressing prepared by Antonio, game changing! Thank you for an incredible day!
