Unique boat tour to Capelinhos Volcano
We are the only company in Faial island which offers the original boat trips, called “Capelinhos Ocean Tours”. Being a partner of the Natural Park of the Azores and Geoparque Açores we want to share with you the unique beauty of our island and the natural monument Capelinhos volcano.
The trip is shared with other participants and requires a minimum of 6 persons.

During this activity, you will have the opportunity to observe whales and dolphins (cetaceans) in their natural habitat. The season for this activity on the island of Faial runs from April to October. You can take part in this trip regardless of your age or fitness level – everyone is welcome!

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.
