Experience OC is an adventure tour operator based in Santa Cruz das Flores, Açores, offering guided outdoor experiences across Flores and nearby islands. The company runs a varied program that includes canyoning, waterfall exploration, multi-hour hikes (trilhos), island excursions to Corvo, and full-day van tours. Many trips include transfers from local pick-up points; specific experiences list included gear, safety measures, snacks or picnic lunches, and photographic documentation when provided. Canyoning options range from an introductory Baptismo de Canyoning with five rappels and a 9‑meter descent ending in a natural pool, to longer technical routes such as Canyoning Ilhéus Médio with seven rappels including a 50‑meter descent. Waterfall and cascades tours explore remote sites and scenic pools, while the Extreme Waterfalls Experience pairs remote waterfall visits with a picnic lunch. Island trips include Corvo Com Guia with guided visits, cave exploration, the Caldeirão, a transfer and a scenic boat ride, and Corvo Sem Guia offering a guided-free option with comfortable transfer upon arrival. Several guided trilho hikes (Fanais, Curso da Água, Ruinas, 4 Lagoas) provide 4‑hour routes with local natural history, endemic species, and transfers included.
