Unleash Your Inner Explorer. Buckle up and prepare for an adrenaline-fueled journey through the heart of Terceira Island.

Our Half-Day Jeep Safari promises an off-road adventure like no other. Leave the ordinary.

Where ancient eruptions once passed, one of the oldest and last remaining native forests of Europe still thrives: the Laurissilva forest of Macaronesia — a mysterious, humid forest rich in endemic species.

This journey is a quest for the island’s greatest natural treasure, as you explore one of the largest natural parks in the Azores, which is part of the “Azores Geopark.” The tour takes place in a van, with short walking trails along the way.

• The sunset tour, as we like to call it, is perfect for couples in love, nature lovers and all ages.

• In the company of Water4fun and a traditional Azorean liqueur, you can marvel at the magnificent sunset on the south coast of Terceira Island.

Continue along the southeast of Terceira Island towards the towns of Ribeirinha, Feteira and São Sebastião. See beautiful natural landmarks such as the Ilhéus das Cabras and Salga Bay, culminating in a visit to the oldest church on the island.

Next, stop at Serra do Cume, a viewpoint located on Terceira’s largest caldera. Note the vast expanse of agricultural fields scattered across the island. Afterwards, enjoy some free time for lunch in the charming town of Praia da Vitória.

In the afternoon, continue along the north coast of the island and visit the Biscoitos Natural Pools. Optionally, you can visit Algar do Carvão, an empty volcanic chimney, which should take around 30-40 minutes (ticket not included). On the way back to your hotel, don’t miss out on one more of the beauties of the central area of the island. Among other things, you can see the wild bulls in their natural habitat.

After a day exploring Terceira Island’s unique heritage and nature, relax in an exquisite geodesic tent.
