Boat tours around Faial Island

We propose a 2 hours boat tours along the beautiful coast line of the island Faial. This tour usually takes place along the south shore, where we visit the Caldeirinhas Marine Protected Area, the Porto Pim Bay all the way to the Capelinhos volcano. We also visit a number of caves on this tour. Entering these caves with a boat can be a thrilling experience. We have a choice of either a 12 person semi-rigid boat with individual seats or a smaller similar boat with lateral seats.

The tour can start and end in Horta ( Faial ) or Madalena (Pico) depending on the clients wish.
