Editor’s take Roman Antonov · 6 best Faial island tours, choice 3 of 6
I'd book this if you want a private picnic day. Visitfaial includes lunch and island-wide pickup. Allow 7 to 8 hours. Groups of four start at €100 per adult.
I'd choose this route for the Ribeirinha stops. You visit the lighthouse ruins and São Mateus church ruins. The picnic break is in Capelo's forest park.
Choose the option matching your adult group size. The lowest per-adult rate needs four to six adults. Solo travellers start at €175. You can choose both pickup and drop-off points on Faial.
