We did the North Shore Trail, which was a very diverse trail of 12 km. Very beautiful hike! Thank you a lot, nice job guys! :)
Hello Achim, how are you? Thank you so much for the review. It was a pleasure to support you on your trip over our beautiful island.
We had a really nice half day hike with Miguel (The guy on the picture. So, you get what you see here) He explained a lot about the island's flora and geological highlights. Really, really informative. He also made sure that he catered the route to our needs and skill level. Very flexible in that sense and we are grateful for that. I was pulling his leg a bit that he deliberately led us through a swamp.......but that was really just a joke. It had rained a lot and we were quite aware of what we were getting into. Miguel is a fun guy and we really felt save and in good hands. His passion for what he does here was clearly noticable. We'd gladly go on a hike again with him if we return to Santa Maria.
Hello Hans. Thank you so much for the review. Yes i literally led you into the swamp ahahah. Now more serious it was in fact the safest route with the weather conditions on the day before. It was a real fun morning, and for sure we will never forget it. All the luck
We spent a wonderful week in Santa Maria with family and friends. A charming island with stunning landscapes. We made some extraordinary trails, only so you can know and discover the charm of the island!! One of which, Pico Alto to Bay of Angels, accompanied by Miguel, who gave us to know beautiful places and explained us in perfect English all kinds of vegetation, fauna and much more about the island. Miguel is of extraordinary sympathy! Thank you Miguel for the availability, flexibility and professionalism with which you accompanied us! Will be to recommend August 2025 Switzerland
Olá a todos!!!! Agora sim Fernanda!!! Muito obrigado pelo review mas principalmente pela confiança e simpatia de todo o vosso grupo. De uma educação inigualável, e sempre sempre com um sorriso a nos receber. Muito muito obrigado
Our guide on this tour was the owner himself, Miguel. He picked us up from our accommodation and drove us up to the top of Pico Alto. We parked our van at the top and hiked our way down to the main road. Miguel taught us about all the plants and topography of the island on our way down. We were even able to get a sighting of Santa Maria's endemic bird, the Santa Maria goldcrest! We had a great time hiking and learning about the island, and Miguel went at our pace the whole time. I would highly recommend this for anyone visiting the island!
Thank you so much. Coming from you, has a more important role. All the best for your family
My sister and I booked two half day hiking tours of Santa Maria with Miguel and had a great time. He took us to so many beautiful places on the island and told us lots about the history and geology. Miguel adapted the tour based on our interests and was mindful of our pace and ability. The scenery was spectacular and there were so many things we would not have seen and learned without him. I would recommend these tours to anyone wanting a great outdoor experience in Santa Maria island.
Hello Val and Chris, thank you so much for this amazing review. I am a lucky guy to have the chance of catching persons like you ladies. All the best

Hola Natália!!! Muchas gracias por la reseña muy buena, e principalmente por la companhia durante nuestras caminadas. Toda la suerte del mundo!!!
My sister and I had the pleasure of spending three nights on Santa Maria, and the experience was definitely elevated because of Miguel and Ricardo! They were friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond! We appreciated every beautiful moment on the island and it was the highlight of our trip to Portugal! ❤️
