What you can expect

Embark on an exclusive boat journey with “Capelinhos Ocean Tours,” the only tour of its kind in Faial Island, Azores. Our boat takes you beyond the shores to the legendary, one of the kind Capelinhos volcano, showcasing a side of the island inaccessible by land. Witness the majestic grottoes, the iconic Elephant Rock, towering cliffs, and serene bays up close—natural wonders, that define the island's unique landscape.

As partners with the Natural Park of the Azores and Geoparque Açores, we're dedicated to bringing you face-to-face with the awe-inspiring Capelinhos volcano from the vantage point of the sea. Our tour highlights seven must-see coastal attractions, including the historical Marina Horta, the whale-hunter's Porto Pim Bay, the enigmatic caves of Ponta Furada, and the trachyte rock formations of Morro de Castelo Branco.

Discover the cliffside nesting grounds at Varadouro Bay, and the reborn Capelinhos volcano lighthouse, now a poignant museum. The journey concludes with a panoramic ocean view of Faial Island's entirety. Alongside these sights, you might even spot marine wildlife such as dolphins, whales, and turtles.

Prepare for an unforgettable sea adventure with “Capelinhos Ocean Tours”.
