About this activity

Discover the best of Faial Island on a full-day tour with your local Guide Ramiro, combining stunning landscapes, stunning volcanoes and authentic culture.

Explore the most iconic spots in a comfortable vehicle while enjoying a relaxed pace.

Visit Caldeira, the huge volcanic crater, and admire panoramic views, then head to the Volcano dos Capelinhos, where the 1957 eruption remodeled the coast.

Along the way, discover panoramic viewpoints, beaches, traditional villages and island secrets, with stories and curiosities that give life to Faial.

With flexible time at each stop and multiple opportunities for photographs, this tour is the ideal way to enjoy Faial in a single day.

The groups are small to ensure a more personalized experience, so the places are limited - we recommend booking in advance to secure your seat.

  • For reservations without lunch included, the tour provides for an approximately 1 hour stop at a local restaurant, where a buffet with traditional Azorean dishes is offered. The lunch is optional, with a fairly affordable cost between 12,50€ and 13,50€ per person, including soup, fish and meat dishes, salads and bread. Drinks, dessert and coffee have a separate cost. Participants who choose not to have lunch should wait during this period. However, if the whole group prefers not to make the stop for lunch, the tour will continue uninterrupted and may end about 1 hour earlier.
  • In the summer, there is the possibility of taking a dive at Almoxarife Beach! Don't forget to bring bathing suit and a towel. There's a place to swap on the beach. There is only one rule: you have to be dry before you go back to the cart.
