Take this tour - We had a great full day tour with our knowledgeable guide, Andre. From the top of Monte Brasil to the cheese tasting in Cinco Ribeiras, including the beaches of Praia Vitória, the beautiful baths of Biscoitos, and everything in between, we learned a lot about the island of Terceira as we rode in a very comfortable van. I would highly recommend this tour.

Island Van Tour (Full... - Island Van Tour (Full Day) - Terceira Island (Azores)
I took this tour in April 2025 in Terceira Island and I had a very nice time. Our local guide and driver from Azores Nature Tours was amazing and very knowledgeable about his island! The views (Monte Brasil, all viewpoints, Praia Vitória, Biscoitos) were so beautiful! We had cheese tasting. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Terceira Island.
Our guide recommended a visit to the history museum and I went there next day and liked it very much. I saw many exhibitions and watched videos and learned about the island and traditions!

Wonderful Guide - We had a tour with James who is an excellent guide. We are 4 seniors who had just landed on Terceira after an overnight flight from Boston. James was very accommodating about our physical restraints and was so helpful in assisting us in and out of the van.
James is very knowledgeable about Terceira, it’s natural beauty as well as the island’s history. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and felt we had a very good understanding of Terceira.
We would highly recommend James as a tour guide.
