Terceira Island, an active volcanic island in the alluring Azores, is a spectacular paradise of fascinating geology. The dramatic landscapes of Terceira's rugged hills are best enjoyed on a guided bike tour that'll treat you to volcanic vistas, lush nature, and extra-special sandy beaches.

Formed of four overlapping stratovolcanoes over the Terceira Rift, Terceira Island built its villages from black volcanic stone. The majestic Monte Brazil was born of an eruption of basaltic lava in shallow water, creating the tuff cone that looms protectively over the harbor of Terceira's capital. Rich grasses grow over the caldera, and the azure ocean of the Azores contrasts magnificently with the emerald green of the island's covering.

Whether you’ve come to Terceira to capture panoramic pictures from the Picas, to venture onto the volcanic sands of Praia Vitória, or to go wild on the West Coast, you'll find a guided bicycle tour that ticks your boxes, with the added option of bike rental.

Enjoy an explosion of adrenaline in this verdant, volcanic paradise!
