Pico Island Adventure Tours

Pico Island, the Azores’ wild and brooding giant, is a place where fire and sea have shaped a landscape built for explorers. Towering above it all is Mount Pico, Portugal’s highest peak, a volcanic titan that lures adventurers to its summit for sunrise views that stretch beyond the horizon. The island’s black lava fields, etched with centuries-old vineyards, create an otherworldly terroir where vines grow in stone-walled craters, producing the bold, UNESCO-listed Verdelho wine once favored by European royalty. Along the coast, rugged cliffs plunge into the Atlantic, where whalers once hunted giants, and today, boats set out for awe-inspiring encounters with sperm whales and dolphins. Underground, Gruta das Torres, the longest lava tube in Portugal, invites the daring to descend into the island’s volcanic past. Whether climbing through the clouds, sipping history in a glass, or diving into the deep blue, Pico is an island where nature demands to be felt, explored, and conquered.
