Pico Island Tours in Azores

10 tours · €63–€180 per person · ★ 4.9

Pico is the second-largest island in the Azores, and the smart way to see it in a day is a guided tour. A Pico Island tour hands the driving and the route to a local who knows where to stop, so you spend the day at the viewpoints and the vineyards instead of squinting at a map.

When you compare Pico tours, check what's included. We'd look for one that takes in the volcano viewpoints, the black-lava coastline and the old whaling villages, plus the UNESCO vineyards where the vines grow inside little stone corrals. If the wine matters to you, book a tour with a tasting led by a local winemaker. A private full-day tour lets you set the pace and pick the stops; that's the format we'd choose here.

10 Pico Island tours from €63. Private and small-group, full-day options with hotel pickup and free cancellation on most - easy to book online.
