During this activity you will have the opportunity to observe whales and dolphins (cetaceans) in their natural habitat. The main whale watching season on the island of Faial runs from April to October. You can go on a whale watching tour regardless of age and physical state, everyone is welcome! If you have any conditions that require special assistance, prior notice is required. We work with the traditional lookouts (dating back to the whaling era) located on the islands of Faial and Pico. Each day, they search for whales to ensure that you can successfully observe the cetaceans on every trip. The only thing we can’t guarantee is the weather conditions that sometimes prevent us from going to sea, so it’s best to book your trip in advance so we can choose the best day.

Private Half-Day Hike Around the Caldeira
€75.00 Per Person
Andreas from Visitfaial
Hiking around the Caldeira is an experience you should not miss out if you visit Faial. This collapsed volcanic cone is one of the main landmarks of Faial. With 2 km in diameter it is an impressive reminder of the force of nature. The trail around the perimeter is about 7 km long and can be done in two to three hours. The hike around the Caldeira is physically easy, but those suffering from vertigo might find a couple of well secured passages a bit of a challenge. This hike is only worthwhile to be done if the weather is clear and the wind is not too strong. You will be rewarded with stunning views of the neighbouring islands and the untouched nature.
