About Terceira Tours

TerceiraTours is a tour company that was created to create a unique experience for those who visit us.

We adapted the concept of “Slow Travel” and created the “Slow Tours”.

The “Slow Tours” concept focuses on the relationship between our visitors and the local community, our culture, our food, our nature, and our music.

We want to have an emotional impact on the present and future of our visitors while maintaining the sustainability of the community of Terceira Island and all that surrounds us.

About the founder

My name is Ivo Silva, I was born on Terceira Island and I am the founder of Terceira Tours.

I work in tourism since 2010. I started in the Caribbean with a company inside the Iberostar and Hard Rock Hotel resorts.

My passion for this magical island, in the middle of the Atlantic, made me come back and continue working in tourism, where I can show the most beautiful corners of Terceira Island.

Creating Terceira Tours was always a dream that has now become reality.

Sustainability and Social Responsibility

Terceira Tours is focused on creating and maximizing long-term economic, social and environmental value.

What we do:

All our clientes get a tap aluminum water bottle

If we find garbage in our tours, we pick it up and recycle it.

We reduce to a minimum the usage of paper.

Clients can check in with us using a digital voucher.

We avoid going where others go. We don´t want to be part of mass tourism.

We involve local residents and communities in our tours planning

In our tours, we rotate restaurants where we take our travelers to lunch. This way, money goes to several restaurants and not to one only.

Terceira Tours highly discourage our travelers to pick, sand, rocks, etc as souvenirs.

We donate an amount per ticket sold on our tours to the NGO Marine Waste Terceira Island.
