What you can expect

Set off on a Van tour of Faial, witnessing incredible views waiting around every corner. Have the unique opportunity to visit the Capelinhos Volcano Interpretation Centre, learning about the history and preservation of the island's natural treasures.

Full day tours last approximately 7 hours. It begins in Horta, heading to the natural reserve of the Caldeira of Faial, always surrounded by the blue hydranges, from which the Island gets it’s “blue island” designation. It keeps going towards Ribeira das Cabras viewpoint, along Serra of Feteira. We then stop for a homemade style meal lunch at Campo dos Sabores.

The afternoon proceeds with the descent to the Fajã in Praia do Norte, with its small beach and small stone houses, adegas, used for the local production of wine. Then, on to the Capelinhos Volcano. This is the most recent volcano in Europe, since it erupted in 1957 (continued into 1958). We can observe and enjoy it’s magnificent desert like landscapes as well as make a visit to the Capelinhos Vocano Interpretation Centre.
Going back to Horta along the south coast of the Island, we make a quick stop at Varadouro to admire the amazing Morro of Castelo Branco, ending our day in Monte da Guia, already in Horta, where we can also admire one of the best views of the city and the Bay of Porto Pim.
