Editor’s take Roman Antonov · 6 best Faial island tours, choice 6 of 6
I'd book this if your group wants a short private tour. Visitfaial follows the south coast to Capelinhos. Allow 3 to 4 hours. Groups of four start at €60 per adult.
I'd take the 14:00 departure to keep the morning free. The 09:00 departure follows the same route. You stop at Morro de Castelo Branco and Varadouro.
Caldeira depends on the weather. Horta viewpoints are the alternative. Choose the option matching your adult group size. You choose your pickup and drop-off points on Faial.
