ADVENTURES ON
4 WHEELS

Where here the road takes us — and wherever you feel like stopping. Flexible, personalized and always full of discovery.

One thing’s certain: the most authentic way to discover any island is on foot. Nearly all the magic these islands hold reveals itself along the trail.

A WHOLE DAY AROUND THE ISLAND BY CAR

Exploring Faial on a full-day island tour is so much more than sightseeing — it’s about feeling the rhythm of local life. As we circle the island, we dive into the daily routines, flavors, and traditions of its people, while uncovering the stories hidden in its iconic landscapes. From volcanic formations and rich biodiversity to cultural heritage shaped over centuries, every stop reveals a new layer of Faial.

  • Transport is included, with pick-up and drop-off at your accommodation or another agreed location in Horta, including the ferry terminal. Airport pick-up and drop-off are also available (note: this may affect the final price). For an extra fee or on private tours, we can arrange transport from anywhere on Faial Island.

  • Your experience will be guided by a marine biologist.
  • If requested in advance, we can provide waterproof trousers and rain covers for backpacks during the hike.
  • If the sea is calm and everyone’s up for it, we might take a refreshing dip in a natural rock pool.
  • Lunch is included — a delicious stop at a traditional restaurant to taste authentic Azorean flavors.

  • And if the group feels like stretching their legs, we can add a short nature walk to the experience.

NIGHT SEABIRD WATCHING

At the edge of the Atlantic, the Azores archipelago serves as a vital sanctuary for migratory seabirds — a place where they rest, nest, and thrive. Among them, Cory’s shearwater stands out as the most iconic, with nearly 80% of the global population choosing these islands to breed. Observing them in their natural rhythm, surrounded by the wild beauty of the ocean and cliffs, is an experience to heighten the senses — a true immersion into the pulse of nature.

Airport pick-up and drop-off are also available (note: this may affect the final price). For an extra fee or on private tours, we can arrange transport from anywhere on Faial Island.

  • Your experience will be guided by a marine biologist.
