A highly recommended excursion!! Our skipper, Hugo, made the zodiac ride super fun!! He was very attentive to us at all times. On the way there we went along the coast through caves and waterfalls. When we got to the island you have to pay for a local taxi (€10 per person round trip) that takes you up to the Caldeira crater and tells you interesting facts about the island. There they leave enough time to do a short route, the place is impressive. Then there is a bit of free time to walk around the village. On the way back we found a group of dolphins. It was a super complete day, unbeatable value for money.

We liked being able to take the boat and go to Corvo, and we also saw the caves, waterfalls, islets and dolphins on the way! Now, you don't have to mind jumping with the boat when the wind is against you or the sea is rougher. This is the Azores and the Atlantic. I also have to say that we got the smallest boat and it didn't have a "splash guard". The skipper of the boat had a bare ass and had fun jumping, it was fun but the sea is impressive if you're not used to it.

Great tour! Corvo is such a unique place and the crater is one of the most beautiful places I've seen. The guide on the island (Lindo or something like that😀) was super friendly and nice. Hugo was a great skipper but more importantly - I hit my back on the way back from Corvo to Flores and he took me to the hospital, waited with me, took me to the pharmacy and was super kind and patient. Thank you so much! I highly recommend this activity, just don't seat on the front 😄

We had a fantastic day touring the island. Our tour guide Frank was so knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. The views were absolutely breathtaking and the food was delicious. We were able to see the whole island and we learned a lot about the history of the island, the flora and the fauna. We definitely recommend this tour and this tour guide!
