Exclusive Full Day Tour - Faial Island (up to 8 people)

Being a Private Tour, you will have the opportunity to see all the places you want. Explore the island comfortably in private whether you are traveling solo, as a couple, as a family or in a group of friends. * Although we have our pre-established itineraries, it is always possible to adapt to your interests so that you get the most out of your stay in Faial.

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

Monument of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, 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 clear days you can still see the islands of São Jorge and Graciosa. Without a doubt, a place with a privileged view!

On the route to Caldeira do Faial we will travel along 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.

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 (or 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.

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 between the gray of the sands and the green of the mountains and the blue of the sky and sea.

Still in Capelinhos, 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 whale village that once existed in this location but is now almost completely buried by volcanic sand and ash. In the 19th century, Porto do Comprido was one of the most important whaling stations in the Azores archipelago.

Located in the center of the island, Caldeira is the true ex-libris of Faial. It is one of the largest volcanic craters in the Azores, and was 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.
