Bernardo was our guide and was ready and waiting for us when we got to the hotel lobby. It wasn't good weather to hike inland so he drove us across the island in the tour company jeep to do a lovely coastal hike in Agualvas. The hike lasted about 1h45. The start was a little tricky as we had to hike up some smoothish lava, but definitely not too difficult. After that it was a very nice hike round the coast, a few mild ups and downs but nothing too challenging - and the views were absolutely spectacular! The hike was a loop so we ended up back were we started without having to go back on ourselves. Bernardo was an excellent guide, extremely knowledgeable about the island and friendly and fun too. We had a great time and totally recommend the hike!

Wonderful experience
The Guide was really sympathetic and well informed about nature and facts about the island. He was totally open up to our personal wishes - for example when we wanted a photo. It was a wonderful trip we can definitely recommend to do with the tour guide. He was also always attentive and patient, avoiding that we slip down the rocks.

The guide was lovely, and...
The guide was lovely, and local, we had a nice morning but not as expected. We expected more of a hike and less off road 'touring' tracks in the Landrover. It would be best to check at the start how long the hike will be and where you are going. It was misty in the hills so we just did a short circular walk on the coast, which was nice but too short. The morning appeared to lack a plan.
Operator response
Thank you for your comment, the trekking we did is a circular one as 99%of the island trekkings are, if you wanted a long difficult one I wish you would have told us witch one you wanted, we chose that one because it was the one the weather permitted to do eventhoug misty. Best regards Proislandtour team

Great views and good times
What most impressed me about this walking tour was the flexibility of the guide. Since in January the weather in Terceira is unpredictable, we waited until the last minute to decide where exactly we would hike. The 2-hour path along the north coast that took us to hidden bays was precisely the right choice. The guide was engaging and kind and I enjoyed the unexpected snack at the end. I highly recommend booking this tour!

Amazing tour
As my guide, Antonio started out by asking me if I had any trails in mind or if I preferred him showing me a hidden gem. We went to Mistérios Negros wich has so much beautiful and alternating nature and landscape (in any kinds of weather, but in case of rain, wear waterproof gear (especially shoes!!). Afterwards, Antonio took me to another pretty spot to enjoy lunch wich he provided and then helped me figure out the next steps of my journey. I can definiely recommend this tour, the trail is outstandingly beautiful and Antonio was very helpful, talkative and pleasant all the way through
