5 stars are not enough
Pro Island Tours Terceira, ruled by father and son Antonio, is a jewel in the jungle of tour companies. Not only that the 2 tours we made with them (Combo Wale watching/Jeep tour and caves tour) have been very professionally organized and worth every Euro. You get so many information about that beautiful island Terceira without feeling like in a classroom. But what you can't pay with money is the exceptional level of warm, personal service provided by Antonio. The cherry on top of the cake was having lunch together with father and son Antonio on their private estate. In 25 years of frequent traveling we never had such an amazing experience. Natural talents like Antonio are rare in todays travel industry. From the first moment, there was an awesome communication base which turned more and more into a friendship. Starting with handshake and ending with hugs - no more words needed. We have never left a travel destination with so much personal enrichment. No need to mention that we will return to our new friends in Terceira. Last but not least: Only those who think about a german sleeping song for babies in the middle of the christmas cave will ever imagine how much fun we had 😉
Response from the operator: THank you so very much, your words mean the world to us, we want you to know that you do have 2 friends here in Terceira now. it was an honor meeting you both and we sure hope to see you again soon best regards António's (PS) Been taping the knee hope it gets better ;)

Great time, nice view.
The whale watching was a nice experience even we saw no much… the cachalots were hiding. But dolphins were a lot nicer 👍 The guide was nice and speaking well english.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much, hope next time you will have better luck hope to see you again soon António

Response from the operator: Thank you very much, it was a pleasure meeting you hope to see you again some time soon Proisland Team

Great experience!!
Fantastic day!! Our jeep driver, Antonio, promptly picked us up at our hotel to drive us to the marina. Our whale watching excursion was a blast. The whale spotters up on Monte Brasil notified or captain of a sighting five miles out. We beelined it straight out into the ocean. They provide long rain slickers, so when it sprinkled for a bit we stayed dry. So fun!! There were ten of us on the boat and we were treated to a wonderful surprise...orca killer whales!!! I think the boat captain was the most excited as it's a rare sighting. They were incredible to watch. We also saw several pods of playful dolphins. After three hours, we headed back in to the marina where Antonio awaited out return. My husband and I enjoyed the amazing tour of the inner island including the top of Monte Santa Barbara, highest point of the island. The bumpy dirt roads were a blast. Antonio was a wonderful guide sharing lots of information. He was kind and humorous. The authentic BBQ lunch was amazing!! What a treat to enjoy cheese and bread, bread and wine, and walking the beautiful park while lunch was prepared. We then sat down with Antonio and his helper and enjoyed the BBQ meats (Alcatra), salad, rice and dessert. The conversation and whole experience was absolutely delightful. From sea level to highest point and all in-between, 8-5 has never been so fun 😊
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, people like your selves make our job easier, it was very nice meeting you and i hope to see you in a near future. Thank you António

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Whale Watching and Jeep Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Terceira.
How much does Whale Watching and Jeep Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $257 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 Whale Watching and Jeep Tour 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 Whale Watching and Jeep Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 10 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 Whale Watching and Jeep Tour?
+
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 Whale Watching and Jeep Tour 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 Whale Watching and Jeep Tour?
+
Around 4 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 Whale Watching and Jeep Tour 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 Whale Watching and Jeep Tour?
+
Included: All taxes, fees and handling charges; Lunch; and Local taxes. Not included: Food and drinks before and after lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Whale Watching and Jeep Tour include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Whale Watching and Jeep Tour offered in?
+

+
