A wonderful adventure
Amazing experience!! Bruno, our guide, was wonderful. He took us through these trails where the views were spectacular. Everything with the booking went well, all information was accurate. We are so glad we did this adventure. It’s been the highlight of our trip.

Fantastic “Jeep” Tour A++++
Wonderful experience with the Green Zone Tours. The Defender was fantastic. We had the full day tour. We loved sitting in the back. Carlos our driver was fantastic, funny and very helpful and pleasant to be with. He was so accommodating to everyone. We saw everything and also some special places off the path. The weather was excellent. Best dang tour lunch I’ve ever had at Lagoa Azul Fantastic!! Top tip, pay some extra for the other desserts that are not included ;) the cheese cake and pineapple cake was wonderful. Local beer is included with the tour and was very good.

Book this Trip!!
WOW!!! This trip was 11 out of 10!! You will not be disappointed if you book this trip. We are on a transatlantic cruise and decided to book this trip instead of a ship offered one. Ricardo met us right when we got off the ship and let us to his 4x4. He was very polite and welcoming and we felt right at ease immediately. Ricardo was extremely knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. His stories were fantastic and entertaining. He definitely made it so we want to come back and experience the Azores again!! Thanks Greenzone tours and Ricardo for making this a perfect trip.

If you're only going to do one tour
If you're only going to do one tour, this one fits a comprehensive island experience into a comfortable day's schedule: tea and pineapple plantation visits, crater lake views, the Parque Terra Nostra botantical gardens with the opportunity for hotspring bathing, bubbling hotsprings belching steam, the opportunity to enjoy Cozido das Furnas cooked below ground in volcanic heat. (Participants need to budget 18 and 25 euros for garden entry and 3-course lunch respectively.) Our guide, Amandine, was excellent: knowledgeable and informative with excellent English; helpful and attentive.

Great experience -...
Great experience - despite light rain, we were able to see Orcas, Common dolphins and Bottlenose dolphins. Did not feel rushed. The kids enjoyed it too.
We were on the Catamaran boat but it is still somewhat rocky on the ocean, as expected I guess, and my partner did get sea sick. The crew members were very used to this and were very helpful. Their tip of not staying in the interior room if you are prone for sea sickness was very valuable.

Get foodie walking tour in Ponta Delgada
Isha was so kind, patient, and lovely within her community of foodies! She shared some history, lots of local culture and great eats too! Her pace was very well timed and her co- workers worked together seamlessly to give us a wonderful experience! If we were staying overnight there we would definitely have dinner at Hungry Whales’ restaurant, Rootz!

This was one of the most...
This was one of the most fun things we did in Azores. It was a great way to see a lot of the area. It was nice to get off a few times for photos and to rest a bit. I particularly loved the final stop down by the ocean. 10/10. Book it - you won’t regret it.

Challenge yourself to an memorable and offbeat activity
Expect fun and facing new challeges. The hike up was UP but took several breaks before getting in the creek heading down.
The guides are really helpful to insure safety and good education for each repel, jump and how to walk in the creek with boulders. There is an area by the shop to change your swim suit to dry clothes. I came on a cruise ship to Ponta Delgada. I walked across the street to the Grand Hotel where I was picked up. All safe and not confusing. About a 45 min drive to the park. I am a active 76 yr old female. The hike and water activities were not to difficult but you need some sense to walk in, around and over rocks.
Please go and make a forever memory in the most beautiful and safe jungle I have enjoyed.

Awesome!
The 2-day tours was really nice. Andrea, our tour guide, was absolutely fantastic, one of the best tour guides. She kept everything super flexible, told us everything important about the stops, and told brought us to the best spots. Really great tour, highly recommend. It's an easy way to see pretty much everything important completely hassle-free!

Beautiful Sao Miguel
Great tour of both sides of the island. Quite a bit of driving but highly recommended if you are short on time and don’t want to do the planning and driving yourself. Lunch on both days was great as well. If you want to see the hydrangeas, I recommend late May or June. It was a bit rainy and misty at the end of April/beginning of May but still very beautiful.

Excellent Guide and Experience
If I could give our guide and this experience 10 STARS, I would! From the moment we were picked up, we all felt like we were with an old friend. Our guide was fabulous- personable, funny, very knowledgeable about the island and we learned alot about Azorean history and culture. We went all over Furnas, used the hot springs (OMG) we felt wonderful- the spa is very classy. The dinner was huge and very delicious. It was an excellent experience that I and my friends would do again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend

This was a very special...
This was a very special ride for anyone interested in marine life! It was very fun and educational as well. As other reviews say this is not a 2 hour excursion so be prepared to be out for roughly 3.5 hours. As long as you go into the ride with that in mind you should have a wonderful time!
