行程
The emblematic white volcanic rock of Morro de Castelo Branco which most visitors might have spotted it just before touchdown of their flight.
Varadouro is a small coastal resort, in the old days it used to be the summer resort of the wealthy families of Horta who spent their summer holiday there. Nowadays it is a residential area with some very popular natural swimming pools.
The volcano of Capelinhos located at the western tip of Faial is a living witness of active volcanism in the Azores. It is the result of an eruption which lasted from September 1957 until October 1958, it was the latest terrestrial eruption in the Azores.
The Caldeira do Cabeço Gordo is one of the main landmarks of Faial. Situated in the center of the island it is with its 2 kilometre diameter and 400 meter depth probably the most impressive crater of the Azores.

5Great experience touring Faial!
We had a wonderful half day tour with Andreas! He was extremely informative and we learned a lot about the island and life on the island. It was a rainy foggy day and he tried to work the route based on the weather so we could get the best views during the tour. Would highly recommend!
5Wonderful tour and guide!
I highly recommend this tour. Andreas was our tour guide. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable about Faial and the Azores. He picked my husband and I up at our hotel. He was right on time in a very comfortable vehicle. He always was quick to come around and open the doors for us. He took us to the most lovely and breathtaking sites, always explaining, in perfect English, the history of the location. Thank you, Andreas, for such an enjoyable and informative tour.
5Highly recommend
Professional, courteous guide. Showed me everything on the island I requested in a leisurely manner increasing vastly my knowledge of Faial.
5Excellent Tour
We did an excellent half day tour with Andreas. He's extremely knowledgeable about the island and a wonderful guide. He provided us with so much historical information, as well as information about life on the island. The island has a lot of variety. There were plenty of opportunities for photos and we never felt rushed. He also brought sandwiches, beer, and water, which we really appreciated! Highly recommended!
5Great tour = 10 out 10
Best tour in Faial. Get to know all the spots with a friendly local. The sandwiches aren't bad either :) highly recommended
5Family of 5 Adults Visiting the Azores
We were a family of 5 adults visiting the Azores for the first time. We booked a Full Day Private Tour of Faial and a Full day Private Tour of Pico with Visit Faial. Andreas was our guide. He picked us at our hotel promptly at the appointed time on both days. Andreas drove us around the island in his van, stopping to visit the places we had requested as well as the ones Andreas had suggested. On the second day he picked us up at our hotel again, drove us to the ferry and we all took the ferry to Pico for our second full day tour. He has a wealth of infortmation about the island which provided great background to what we were seeing. On both days we visited all the places we had requested and more as well. We enjoyed a picnic lunch with him on both days and he also had a basket with water and snacks for us in his van. The lunches were made by his wife and they were delicious. Andreas was fluent in English and he made our visit a very memorable one. He was dependable, friendly, respectful, knowledgeable, polite, a good driver and an all round excellent tour guide! Recommend him 100%! He definitely went the extra mile.

About Faial Island
Faial is a volcanic island in the central Azores, called the Blue Island for its hydrangeas, with a sailors' harbour at Horta and a vast caldera.
Faial is one of the nine Azorean islands, a green volcanic island of pastures and hedges of hydrangeas, which flower blue in summer. Horta, the island's port town, is a favourite stop for yachts crossing the Atlantic, and the harbour wall is covered in hundreds of paintings left by sailors for luck. The town has a pleasant waterfront, old churches and a fort.
