This ride is designed for amateur cyclists or sports enthusiasts who practice endurance sports consistently, at least once a week. The route covers 45 km, and 1320 m of elevation gain. We will use mostly dirt roads and secondary roads. The itinerary can change, for our guide will adapt the route depending on the weather conditions and group fitness.

The guide will ride at the right pace so everyone feels comfortable by the end of the adventure. After the ride we may have some time to relax and swim, if weather conditions are right. Our mountain biking tour is a great way to cross Faial Island, see many different landscapes, and also learn quite a lot about the island.

The tour includes bikes and transportation back to Horta. Feel free to contact us if you’re looking for a shorter or different, custom made route.

A traditional lunch is included at Lajes village. In between, we will appreciate several natural tide pools and visit the interior of the island, Pico Central Plateau. We call it Banana Trip, because the final goal is to visit our own banana plantation. To check and see if there’s a ripe bunch of bananas, ready to harvest.

The Banana Trip is a private cultural tour in Pico island that offers an exclusive experience. The price includes all expenses from Faial island and back.

The first stop is Monte Brasil, where you can see Angra do Heroísmo from above. Take a short drive through the town, then along the southeast coast to the village of Ribeirinha, where you can admire panoramic views.

The route is off-road, exploring the villages of Agualva and Biscoitos, where you can see wild bulls in their natural habitat and a great diversity of native flora.

Take a short break for lunch and then continue on to discover the Algar do Carvão volcano, the island’s biggest attraction.
Finish the tour with more impressive views of the unspoiled natural area in the central part of the island, before being dropped back at your hotel.

Duration: 3 hours
