Whale Watching in Faial
Depart from Horta Marina and embark on an unforgettable 4-hour adventure dedicated to whale and dolphin watching in the stunning waters around Faial Island. Guided by a team truly passionate about marine life, you’ll have the chance to witness various species of whales and dolphins, including resident sperm whales that can be seen year-round.
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.
