Steffi our guide did an excellent job and we all felt safe and she kept us in a good mood all the way to the top of Mt Pico.
Everyone in good condition can reach the peak, it’s more about the weather conditions!

5 star to our guide Steffi!

  We got the tip to book the guided hike up Pico with Hominis Natura from another company which had already closed for the season. And it was a very good... read more tip! Steffi is a very experienced, knowledgeable and also funny tour guide, full of interesting stories. She times the breaks throughout the hike very well, making it less of a tour de force than we had expected. She also gave us ample time to enjoy our lunch at the peak. We warmly recommend her and her colleagues from Hominis Natura.

  I did last week the tour "climbing Pico". The tour was organized perfectly - although the weather changed - like the Azores are - several times that day. Nilton was... read more the perfect Guide. Takes care of the slowest members and provide during several stops very good explanations about nature, geography, vulcano-structures etc. with all interactions. He was very friendly and had a good sense of humor. I like it.

  Great kayaking from Sta. Cruz to Pontas Negras. Boats in great condition, the coastline was beautiful and guiding excellent.

She told us a lot about the history of Pico, the flora and fauna, the wine industry and whale hunting. Many enjoyable adventures!!

  We've had the chance to do the Pico night climb with my two teenager kids, expertly guided by Steffi. We are used to hiking and would normally have climbed without... read more a guide during the day but because it was a night climb and we've read that the weather conditions can be difficult, we chose to join a group with a guide (who has all the necessary equipment and knowledge of how to react in adverse conditions). It was definitely a good choice : we were in a small group, could spend some time sharing our experiences and learning about life in Pico, and I also quickly realized it would have been much more difficult to find the right path up without a guide at night ! It was a truly amazing experience and definitely one of the highlights of our trip to the Azores ! Thanks Steffi !

  Very nice trip with Nilton Goulart, the climb at Pico mountain was great and excelent. Kind guide, pleasant conversation, funny enjoyment
