We did a Terceira island day trip with Pristine Azores. We had an outstanding time, and Filipe was a very gracious and warm host. We highly recommend them without any reservations. We had them pick us up at the airport so we could start our trip with an island overview tour (and save the cost of transport to our hotel in Angra). That was a mistake on our part. We were jet lagged beyond belief. Filipe took us for some coffee, and that jolted us awake for a bit, but we got ugly tired later in the day...more on that later, and totally our fault. It was just me and my wife on the tour, which was wonderful. We started by seeing the sights in Praia, then went up back roads to the windmills, then around the island, through Biscoitos. Terceira weather is notoriously fickle, and our tour day was no exception. It was cold and rainy in the mountains, and we couldn't see anything from the viewpoints in the morning, but it was still exhilarating and a lot of fun. Filipe took us to a winery in Biscoitos, which was outstanding. We sampled a number of Azorean wines, and bought a bottle for later. We then went to a local restaurant, and had a delicious typical Azorean meal, with more wine. After great food and more wine and a comfortable vehicle ride, we were spent. We were not good company for the next hour or two...sleeping between stops, but when we were awake, we saw amazing vistas of the island and over the ocean, and Filipe showed us local spots we'd never have found on our own. As the weather cleared, the island just got better and more beautiful. Filipe was really well versed on the local flora and fauna and he was the consummate host. We ended up on Monte Brasil. Late in the afternoon, Filipe dropped us at our hotel and we went immediately to bed. It was really a spectacular day, and you should do a tour with Pristine Azores. But next time, we'd choose not to do it on our first day...totally our overestimation of our capabilities to overcome jet lag.

The whole experience was super cool! We were able to see soo many dolphins, three different types, and we also saw a blue whale (!!!) a bit far. I was happy that there was no radar on the boat to find the animals as these usually just confuse them underwater. The girl on the boat explained everything really well and gave us interesting facts about both the dolphins and whales and the boat driver was nice as well. We arrived pretty late and forgot to get cash so everyone had to wait for us to get it, but the staff was really nice and waited patiently. I totally recommend OceanEmotion if you want to see whales and dolphins! :)

Terceira Island owns charming landscapes, which you won’t be able do disregard. In this tour, we take you to some of the best belvederes of the island, that offer panoramic view. Blended in Terceira Island rural landscape, we find Serra da Ribeirinha viewpoint, having the green fields as a backdrop. To highlight the landscape, we will find the lush 'Ilhéus das Cabras', volcanic formations that we observe from Serretinha Viewpoint, which deserves our attention! Serra do Facho Belvedere is another point not to miss! From its summit, we observe the beautiful landscape over Vitorino Nemésio’s City, in Praia da Vitória. The best way to get lost and find yourself at the same time is to contemplate the stunning landscape of the patchwork blanket view that Serra do Cume Belvedere offers. You will be as dazzled as we are, day after day! We recommend you not to forget your camera, so that you can perpetuate every moment! What are you waiting for, to choose this tour?

Inclusions: WiFi on board, All Fees and Taxes, Pick up and drop off at hotels or lodgings near the center of Angra do Heroísmo.

We did a full day tour in Terceira with AzorBus! Filipe and Filipa (and Katarina) were all amazing, we had a great day sightseeing with them. We got to know the island very well and they were amazingly organized, explained a lot. Would recommend their tours to anyone! Terceira is also beautiful and so interesting to visit!

We have a sighting guarantee, meaning we guarantee to sight at least one whale or dolphin species listed for the Azores, in Whale & Dolphin Watching and Swimming with Dolphins activities. However, we cannot predict if it will be only whales, only dolphins or both on a single tour, since we work with wild animals, and their behavior is unpredictable. If whales or dolphins species are not sighted during the tour, customer will have the possibility of another free tour, or in case of unavailability due to weather conditions, full refund.

Inclusions: Experienced guide, Whale and dolphin spotter, Sighting guarantee

Exclusions: Food and drinks, Hotel pickup and drop-off

It was soooooo good! We saw a lot of dolphins and it was just wonderful. We were with four couples and each couple dived 2 times. And Each time we dived with another group of dolphins. They were so close to you! At the end the guide took us to another kind of dolphins and they were playing with us. To see a dolphin 1m from you is epic.
