Top Faial Island Hiking Tours

Explore the Caldeira, a collapsed volcanic cone, on this private half-day tour. This is a must-do when you’re in Faial. The trail is relatively easy, and takes about two to three hours. You’ll also have round-trip transport from Horta provided for you, so no need to organize that separately.

A natural reserve since the 1970s, the volcanic Caldeira of Faial boasts unique geological characteristics. To aid its preservation, the Faial Natural Park controls access to the site, and so entry is only granted to those who visit with a certified guide. This option makes it easy for you to complete the descent, with a guide to help you hike and scramble over the challenging, yet rewarding, terrain.
