    Probabilmente la migliore agenzia a cui rivolgersi in Ponta Delgada. Organizzati e accoglienti. Edoardo e Thiago, due ragazzi dello staff con cui ho avuto il piacere di fare delle escursioni sono stati assolutamente perfetti. Preparatissimi e disponibili.

    We booked a full-day activity with Picos de Aventura after we already went whale watching and canyoning with them and had a whale of a time. For my sons (9 and 13) who like to be active, kayaking and cycling was a great choice. We spent a couple of hours paddling and taking in beautiful peaceful surroundings of the Furnas lake together with two other families. Our guide Diogo was attentive and accommodating to each of us, helping us to feel relaxed and encouraged in our paddling efforts. After lunch in Furnas, where we could try the Portugese stew, cooked underground using geothermal energy, we cycled around the lake and climbed a view point overlooking Furnas. Diogo was very informative and one could feel his love for nature and the island. He kept us engaged and entertained throughout the day and felt like an old friend at the end of the day. We would definitely like to return for some more adventures with Picos!

    We were lucky and the two of us were the only ones in the group. Hugo was fantastic, personable, and very helpful. The biking wasn’t too difficult, mostly flat with a section at the end you’ll probably have to walk but the views were amazing.

    Our tour guide Joachim was bright, funny, knowledgeable, and a complete delight. He shared a lot of information about life and living on San Miguel island and the Azores in general. He seem to customize the tour according to the wishes and interests of those in his tour group. There was a wonderful lunch at Tony's restaurant in Furnas after canoeing across the lake and before the bicycle trek. Highly recommend giving the store some consideration
