More than a walk – an authentic experience on Flores Island
With D.JuliaTours, each journey is thought to be intimate, engaging and unforgettable.
Unlike traditional routes, our proposal is to slow down and dive into the soul of the Flores with a local guide who shares stories, secrets and the true essence of the island.

Flexible and personalized routes:

Avoid crowds and discover little-known landscapes, with time to appreciate every detail. Our groups are small to ensure total attention and a more human experience.

Parks for bathing in waterfalls and contemplation:

We included moments to enjoy the crystal clear waters, quiet sights and places where time seems to stop.

A local look, passionate and welcoming:

More than showing sights, we want you to feel the island like a real Azorean.

If you value genuine experiences, tranquility and connection with nature, we will guarantee this for you.

What's Included

Possibility to swim in the waterfall (if desired)
Time flexibility at each stop
Stops at the island's natural sights
Comfortable transportation with experienced local driver
Support in Portuguese and English
Lunch (stop at restaurant/local indicated, extra charge)
