Naturalist - Science & Tourism. Whale Watching
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Amazing experience!!! All guides are marine biologists who know a lot about whales and other ocean species. Our guide, a girl from Lisbon University (sorry forgot her name…) made a lot of efforts to make our experience unforgettable. By choosing Naturalist you also support marine science because 10%...

Caldeira do Cabeço Gordo
Nature preserve
👍👍 This hike has incredible views that are different at every point in the walk. It was an easy hike, with moderately difficult spots because the trail is ver narrow. We came around 16:00 on a clear day and had gorgeous vistas of Pico, the caldeira, and the ocean. The bugs didn’t bite, although they we...

Miradouro de Nossa Senhora da Conceição
Scenic spot
👍 Viewpoint that at the same time is a place of faith.
Beautiful view over the city of Horta and great to also observe the Pico Mountain.
In this very well-achieved viewpoint, impeccably preserved, the image of the Saint that gives her name is worth mentioning.
It has the most beautiful view over...

Church of Nossa Senhora das Angústias
Tourist attraction
👍👍 The whale watching is quite exciting, but snorkeling with dolphins is unbelievable, a unique experience. We did two tours: one in a cloudy/rainy day and another one in a sunny day. If you can manage it, do it with good weather... The experience will be waaay better. Joanna, Thiago, Ruth and all the...

Church of the Holy Savior
Catholic church
👍 Nachdem wir viele Kirchen nur von außen anschauen konnten, haben wir uns gefreut diese auch betreten zu können. Die Kirche ist auf einer kleinen Anhöhe. Sie ist in einem guten Zustand, soweit ich das Beurteilen kann und hat uns gut gefallen.

Forte de Santa Cruz
Historical landmark
👍👍 Маршруты кругосветных регат на яхтах проходят через остров Фаял. Команды оставляют визитные карточки в виде картинок на набережной. Некоторые очень и очень креативные. Очень интересно побродить, посмотреть. Можно найти редкие страны, можно поискать свою страну.

Faial Botanical Garden
Botanical garden
👍👍 Nice place to spend a couple of hours - having an enjoyable walk, looking at plants and learning more about native Azores plants, invasive species and the efforts people are putting to keep the bio diversity. You can start by watching a movie in which you learn more about the preservation efforts an...

Poço das Asas
Park
👍👍 Well, I was a little disappointed with the little wing well, in the cold floor area I think.
I think it should be considered a small forest park, it contains tables, grills, swings and stairs.
However it was completely overgrown with meter high weeds.
Pray that you haven't seen cleaning from the lo...
