Half Day Guided Sea Kayaking
Pico Mountain provides the backdrop for this active adventure. Feel the salty air through your hair as you paddle through crystal clear waters.
Along the way, we get a chance to kayak into a volcanic crater. Armed with a snorkel, we stop briefly at a pebble beach to admire the marine life. From the sea, we also see the remains of a vibrant whale past.
It’s the perfect chance to discover Pico Island in a really fun and interesting way.
Private Half-Day Hike Around the Caldeira
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.
Whale Watching – Private Boat Charter
Whale watching is one of our greatest passions!
We are truly passionate and fascinated by these animals, and every day we try to pass on a little of this passion, and our knowledge, to all those who choose us to live this experience.
We organise morning and afternoon trips, lasting between 3 and 4 hours. The species sighted may vary depending on the time of year, however we do have some species that are "resident" all year round, such as the Sperm Whale.
