Pico Mountain Climbing Private Tour - mit Hin- und Rückfahrt von Faial

Climbing Mount Pico with Luís as our guide was an outstanding experience. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. Luís shared a wealth of knowledge about the island and the volcano, while also instilling in us a profound respect for nature and the importance of preserving it. The hike is demanding, but the reward is truly worth the effort. A must-do experience when visiting Faial or Pico, and without a doubt best enjoyed with Our-Island.

An extraordinary experience accompanied by our guide Luis whose historical knowledge of the islands and geological volcanoes is enriching.

The tour was well organized and prepared. We started from Faial and took the first ferry in the morning to Pico Island, where a taxi was already waiting to bring us to the mountain house. Luis is a very experienced guide, who patiently cared about us and the nature on this long day trip on Pico Mountain. Thank you!

My guide Luis was fantastic. The weather was very questionable but Luis made me feel comfortable that we were not going to take any risks. As we reached major milestones in the climb he reassessed the weather and my fitness before deciding to continue. Without his expertise I don’t think I would have completed the climb

A challenging, rewarding, and exciting experience! Combining physical exercise, wild nature, and beautiful landscapes. Very well managed and planned, thank you so much for your professionalism! I enjoyed every minute!

We had an amazing hike with our guide Luis. His passion for the mountain and nature was visible in every explanation he gave us during the trip. If you like sustainable, eco-friendly activities we highly recommand you book "Our Island"!

This was an exceptional hike! Our Island organized everything seamlessly. Major kudos to our guide, Luis. His historical and environmental insights enhanced our experience ten fold. This was a challenging hike but Luis expertly guided us through it all and greatly exceeded our expectations. We had a great time!

Wow! What a trip that was! Thank you so much to Rita (who handled the whole administration stuff and communicated with us before the climb) and to Luis (who was the best guide to introduce us to stunning Pico Mountain)! We found Ourisland Azores thoroughly professional, fun and flexible. And from the moment we met Luis at the ferry terminal in Horta early in the morning until we parted again around 12 hours later we had fun, felt tremendously safe and learned so much about the region, the islands, the mountain, the people and all their challenges. Being avid mountain hikers (mainly in the Alps, though) we felt it was right to hire a guide to climb Pico Mountain. While one can find the way up to the crater rim and to the peak on his/her own, an experienced mountain guide always knows the right paths to follow up AND DOWN, cares about safety (sharp lava rocks, slippery gravel and muddy soil) and knows when to take the occasional break. Luis kept a wonderfully steady pace up and down and let us into so many interesting facts and secrets - absulutely fabulous. He could "sense" the mountain and knew exactly when another five minutes of hiking made the difference between having a break in the clouds and enjoying a sip of tea and some chocolate under the nice September sun ;-) All in all: perfect agency, perfect guide - we will be back for more. Obrigado and all the best!
