The itinerary described below is my standard full day Highlights Tour, designed for those with limited time who still want to discover as much of Pico as possible. Over the course of the day, you’ll explore both the island’s iconic highlights and some of its hidden gems — from its rich wine culture and dramatic volcanic landscapes to its fascinating whaling heritage — giving you a deeper understanding of what makes Pico so unique. However, because this is a completely private tour, the itinerary is fully customizable to suit your interests and preferences. Enjoy the freedom to choose your pick-up location, adjust the pace, spend more time at the places you love, skip stops that don’t interest you, or add other places along the way. I can adapt the day to your group, making the experience more personal, relaxed, and flexible.
