Faial Island Tours in Azores

6 tours · €69–€125 per person · ★ 4.9

Faial is one of the Azores' most rewarding islands to explore, and a guided Faial Island tour is the simplest way to take it in without renting a car or piecing together a route yourself. Book one and the driving, the timing and the best viewpoints are sorted, so you spend the day looking out at the scenery instead of at a map.

When you compare Faial tours, check what's on the itinerary. We'd make sure yours includes the Capelinhos volcano and lighthouse, the wide green Caldeira crater, and the flower-lined hydrangea roads the island is known for. A good driver-guide folds in the harbour at Horta and a few coastal viewpoints too. A half-day tour covers the highlights if time is tight; a full-day excursion adds the local-culture stops and a slower pace. Private tours let you set the route; small-group options keep the cost down.

6 Faial Island tours from €69. Half-day and full-day, private and small-group, hotel pickup and free cancellation on most - easy to book online.
