Pico experience
Nilton is a very professionnal and reliable guide. Every aspect of the Pico experience was well organized. Booking, informations, communications, briefing before the hike, the hike and afterwards.We were given knowledgeable advices before and throughout the hike. All together, this made a pleasant and safe hike during the day. Nilton pay close attention to details, I highly recommande Nilton as a guide. Your Pico experience will just improve.

Great experience
Steffi is a great guide. She takes her responsibility for the safety of the participants seriously and is super nice. The hike itself was incredibly beautiful—it was unbelievable to be able to experience something like that! We were also lucky with the weather, which had a huge impact.

Great experience
We really enjoyed the hike with Steffi. She's a dedicated guide who adapts the hiking tempo to the group and gives the right instructions for a safe trip up and down. She also knows a lot about the island and the volcano, so apart from the sportive activity, we also learned new things! The view from the top accompanied with the tea and brownies, was unforgettable. We would really recommend to hike the Pico volcano with Steffi for a great day, hopefully also in the sun with very beautiful sights at the top!

Visit to lava caves
We could not do our kayak tour, but we were offered a walk through the lava caves, as well as a whale guard post and it was very worth it! The guide João was very friendly and we got to know a lot about the Pico that we didn't know! Thank you!

Only for hiking friends!
Steffi and Nilton were fantastic, during the briefing and the breaks of the climb they explained everything about how to get up and down, and what to pay attention to. At lunch we were also offered hot tea and homemade brownies.Steffi helped me a lot, even though I was clearly not at the level of the rest of the group, without making me feel bad, even in the moments when I wanted to quit. I'm very grateful.Having guides like them was crucial. That said, it is a unique experience, beautiful but tough, so I recommend it only for those who are really fit and used to doing this type of hiking, because Pico is definitely not just any trekking! Trust the rock!
