Here are some suggestions for activities you can find on Pico Island.

Whale watching

Whale watching is one of the most popular activities in the Azores. This immersive experience that promises strong emotions is a fun way to experience the diversity of the Atlantic Ocean up close, being possible to observe more than 20 different types of cetaceans that vary between resident and migrant species, common and rare.

Climb Pico mountain

This activity has a high level of difficulty when compared to other walking trails, but promises strong emotions and breathtaking views. From the top of Pico mountain, on days of good visibility, you can easily see other islands in the archipelago as well as a divine sunrise and sunset.

Sport fishing

For the most avid fishing enthusiasts, this adventure set in the rich waters of the Atlantic Ocean promises a great diversity of species possible to catch; for the curious and less experienced, the boat trip allows you to enjoy the landscapes from a different perspective, being able to appreciate the parishes and lava formations, for example.

Horse rides

Horseback riding is another fun way to get to know Pico Island and its nature. The walks, along trails, allow you to discover very special features of the island, such as volcanic cones, craters and lagoons, always in the special company of friendly horses.
