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.

  The organisation of climbing Pico was done very easily for us, response to our request and communication with Steffi fast and informative! I liked that we were only a... read more small group of 7 people. Special thanks to Nilton for his professional guiding on Pico. It was a real challenge for me, but with Nilton as a guide I felt always safe and I can highly recommend Hominis Natura!

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

  Steffi took us for a day tour around Pico Island. We saw many aspects of this beautiful island, visited the caves, went swimming in a natural seapool followed by deliciously... read more prepared fresh lunch! 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

  We didn’t know what to expect from the island and wine tour but it was an amazing trip. Steffie showed us really nice spots which we by ourselves never would... read more have found. She is very profecional and helpfull. We recommend this company for every trip you want to do in Pico. C&R

  Awesome!!!!
We did the Nightclimbe on Pico together with Steffi and it was the highlight of our trip to the azores. Steffi is the best guide you will finde on... read more Pico and I would definitely recomend to do the nightclimbe with her! And not only because she could answer every of my questions (I had a lot 🙂 ).

  A few weeks ago we went on a day trip climbing Mount Pico. We were lucky to be guided by Steffi from Hominis Natura. Steffi is a very professional, trustworthy... read more and helpful guide. Thanks to her advice we came well prepared for a climb with all different weather conditions and made it to the top. As Belgian tourists it was very nice to have a Dutch-speaking guide.
We highly recommend our guide Steffi. You don't have to be afraid to take the trip if you follow her instructions carefully.
Thank you Steffi for the unforgettable day!

  Between January and May, Steffi and Nilton took through the most wonderful walks around Pico Island. They organized every single walk with so much care and attention. I was very... read more specific about the hours I can walk ( no more than 5 hours), about the timing, ( I prefer the afternoons), etc, etc.
Each walk was handmade for me and each walk was absolutely perfect. When Steffi saw that I was getting very tired, she would ask us to stop, always in the most beautiful space, and gave me the most delicious lemonade and the most marvellous buiscuits made by her, that gave me the energy to keep on going. I hope to resume the walks at the end of October.
