Full day Faial: Hiking & Culture

This tour perfectly combines nature and culture, offering you an exclusive way to discover Faial, accompanied by our certified Guide, in a private setting.

It will be an unforgettable day on the island of Faial, surrounded by nature. The day begins with a hike around Caldeira do Faial, an impressive volcanic crater offering panoramic views of the Triangle Islands. For about 3 hours, you’ll hike along the highest point of the island, surrounded by rich biodiversity. Our Guide will share knowledge about the local geology and flora. If the weather doesn’t allow this activity, we’ll opt for Praia do Norte Trail, an equally fascinating alternative.

After the hike, it’s time to relax and taste the delicious Azorean cuisine. We’ll head to the Cedros village , where you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy lunch at a traditional local restaurant.

In the afternoon, the tour continues by car, exploring more of Faial’s unique landscapes. We’ll pass through Fajã da Praia do Norte, a unique and peaceful spot where you can appreciate its beauty and culture, and if the weather permits, take a swim in the ocean. To end the day, we head to the Capelinhos Volcano, an area marked by the island’s most recent eruption, which occurred between 1957-58. This event dramatically transformed the local landscape, and our Guide will share the history and details of this eruption that shaped the island as we know it today.
