Itinerary

  • Faial Island

    The suggested itinerary is the normal for this tour. However, there may be changes (in the duration of the places to visit and the places to visit), taking into account the season and the state of the weather. In case we have to change any of the places to visit, we will show others, such as natural volcanic pools, forest parks, among others. Our goal is to provide you with the best possible experience!

    1 minute

  • Monte Da Guia Walking Trail

    Monte da Guia is a volcanic cone with two semicircular craters. From this place you will have a privileged view to the beach of Porto Pim and to the city of Horta.

    15 minutes

  • Miradouro de Nossa Senhora da Conceicao

    Monument of Nossa Senhora da ConceiĆ§Ć£o, from this place you can see the historic center of the city and the bay of Horta on one side and, on the other, Praia do Almoxarife. You can also see the neighboring Pico Island and the highest point in Portugal, Pico Mountain. On days without clouds, you can still see the island of SĆ£o Jorge and Graciosa. Without a doubt, a place with a privileged view!

    15 minutes

  • Flamengos

    On the route to Caldeira do Faial, we will take a road with excellent views of the entire parish of Flamengos. This is the only parish on the island that does not have direct access to the sea and is surrounded by mountains and volcanoes.

    5 minutes

  • Caldeira

    Located in the center of the island, the Caldeira is the true ex-libris of Faial. It is one of the largest volcanic craters in the Azores, and which was at the origin of the island, measuring around 2000 meters in diameter, 7000 meters in perimeter and 400 meters deep. In this impressive place you will have the possibility to take a short walk, take unique photos or simply observe what the force of nature can create.

    30 minutes

  • Praia do Almoxarife

    Visit to one of the most beautiful beaches on the island with views of Pico, S. Jorge and Graciosa islands. This is the largest volcanic sand beach in Faial and one of the largest in the Azores. You will have free time at this location. You can choose to have a drink at a local cafe, take a walk along the beach, around the parish, or take a swim in our temperate waters. From here we will head for lunch at a local restaurant, away from the typical tourist routes so you can have a more authentic experience.

    30 minutes

  • N/A

    Enjoy an Azorean buffet lunch with fresh local ingredients. This is a restaurant that is mostly frequented by locals, making the experience more authentic. This is the restaurant we use during the week. On the weekends we use the Campo dos Sabores restaurant.

    1 hour

  • Miradouro Ponta Furada

    Coastal site of great beauty where you can observe the contact of basalt with the sea. Here there are several caves and geological formations that will certainly please you.

    10 minutes

  • N/A

    We will visit the Natural Pools of Porto do Comprido. These pools were formed by basalt rocks, which resulted from the solidification of incandescent lava in the sea. We will pass by the whaling village that once existed in this location but is now almost completely buried by sand and volcanic ash. In the 19th century, Porto do Comprido was one of the most important whaling stations in the Azores archipelago.

    15 minutes

  • Capelinhos

    A place of great volcanic beauty. The Capelinhos Volcano is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the Atlantic, particularly in the Azores. Its landscape takes us to a lunar environment. Enjoy the contrast of the grey sands with the green of the mountains and the blue of the sky and sea. In this unique place you will have free time to explore the area. You can choose to visit the Capelinhos Volcano Interpretation Centre, stroll through the sands and volcanic ash, see the Capelinhos Lighthouse with its first floor still underground, or take a walk on the Costado da Nau (the area where the island of Faial ended before the eruption).

    1 hour

Full day tour of Faial

Published on Nov, 2024

Ramiro gives an excellent tour. Keeps the momentum going, friendly and cheerful. Works very hard to make your day the best and he did just that. You won't be disappointed. We kept trying to see Pico but the weather just would not cooperate. His van was great very comfortable.

A perfect day on the island of Faial

Published on Oct, 2024

Faial was without a doubt one of the most beautiful islands I visited in the Azores and the highlight was this tour. Our family was accompanied by Ramiro, a very experienced, friendly and knowledgeable guide who I recommend to everyone who wants to visit the island. You won't regret it!!!

Green fields and volcanos

Published on Oct, 2024

Ramiro was knowledgable about the island and good company too. It was a relaxed and enjoyable day - the dramatic moment was the visit to the land which has been created by volcanic eruption in recent times.

A great tour choice
