Best Tour with Azores Expeditions!!
This was my first time on the island but traveled with some friends who have been several times and have booked tours with Juca. From their experiences that they had talked about including his awesome wife Marisa, it felt like I had known them for a long time! He made sure to show us the highlights with the time that we had and made sure we had a great time along the way with memorable moments through his photography. He was knowledgeable, funny and as well as patient and flexible. The weather is ever changing there, they provide you with things to fill your time and make it memorable when your tour is over! Highly recommend! Looking forward to returning and doing another tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your words. We really appreciate your opinion! It was and always will be a great pleasure to have you with us, my friends! Hope to see you soon! Huge hug. Marisa & Juca

Another great day with Azores Expeditions!
We booked a custom 1/2 day tour with Juca. He took us to the volcano and a photo shoot. We have been using them since 2018. Juca is a great guide and driver. He is very knowledgeable and takes fabulous photos! The hydrangeas were blooming on the island and they were stunning! We had lunch at Caneta - delicious! Marisa was very prompt with booking and any questions we had. Book Juca as soon as you know your dates!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your words. We really appreciate your opinion! It was and always will be a great pleasure to have you with us, my friends! Hope to see you soon! Huge hug. Marisa & Juca

Azores Expeditions is a Must Do on Terceira!!
We have used Azores Expeditions numerous times and we love it! When we return to Terceira and bring people who’ve never been, we book another tour with Juca. He is so very knowledgeable and knows where to go depending on the current weather. He also takes excellent photographs using your own camera! (Unless you do the photography tour and he uses his professional equipment). He and his wire Marisa are so easy to work with- they will customize your experience based on your wants/need/time constraint etc. they also share great information for things to do on your own after the tour is over. We highly recommend them and will definitely use them again!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your words. We really appreciate your opinion! It was and always will be a great pleasure to have you with us, my friends! Hope to see you soon! Huge hug. Marisa & Juca

Learned so much more in a day than I've figured out on my own in years...
I love the creative side of photography but the technical has always left me baffled. Good with composition, not so great with ISO, aperture and all the bells on whistles on digital cameras. I didn't bring my DSLR on this trip (should have - just had my iPhone), but the learning gained from watching Juca with his camera and he explaining the settings and reviewing the resulting images will transfer without question. Always so knowledgeable, and always entertaining. Had a fantastic day - highly, highly recommended (remember your camera!).

The best of Terceira
One of the best proposals to experience the island. Azores expedition is not a simple tour, they offer a 360 degree experience of the island, from culinary flavors to the most exclusive and unique places that the island has to offer. Juca, the guide is a beautiful person, professional and creative! I also had a lot of fun with the photo session, which gave me beautiful memories to always carry with me. The best part was immersing myself in the Japanese cedar forest, walking to unique spots, immersed in the wild nature. It gave me a wonderful experience that I will always remember! I recommend everyone to book this tour with Juca who has a lot of interesting information and stories to tell! I was lucky to have this opportunity, it made my trip unforgettable!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
PHOTO TOUR (Full Day Private Tour- Sunrise to sunset): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Terceira.
How much does PHOTO TOUR (Full Day Private Tour- Sunrise to sunset) cost?
+
Prices start at $343 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Terceira usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does PHOTO TOUR (Full Day Private Tour- Sunrise to sunset) take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Terceira is not rushed.
Is PHOTO TOUR (Full Day Private Tour- Sunrise to sunset) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 72 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Terceira, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule PHOTO TOUR (Full Day Private Tour- Sunrise to sunset)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is PHOTO TOUR (Full Day Private Tour- Sunrise to sunset) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book PHOTO TOUR (Full Day Private Tour- Sunrise to sunset)?
+
Around 25 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Terceira can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Terceira and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does PHOTO TOUR (Full Day Private Tour- Sunrise to sunset) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Terceira within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Terceira?
+
On Outty we rank every Terceira experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Underground Van Tour (Half Day) | Terceira Island, Private Terceira Island Full Day Tour, Island Van Tour (Full Day) | Terceira Island. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Terceira?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Terceira?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in PHOTO TOUR (Full Day Private Tour- Sunrise to sunset)?
+
Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Private tour; Professional guide; Professional photographer guide; and Transport by air-conditioned minivan. Not included: Meals and drinks; All Fees and Taxes; and Entrance tickets to Algar do Carvão and Gruta do Natal. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 12 listed pickup locations in and around Terceira. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is PHOTO TOUR (Full Day Private Tour- Sunrise to sunset) offered in?
+
