- ACCESSIBLE, SUSTAINABLE & CULTURAL TOURISM -
Shuttle - Horta, Almoxarife, Caldeira and Capelinhos
Our shuttle service (van up to 8 seats and adapted for transporting people with reduced mobility OR car up to 4 seats) allows you to visit the main points of Faial island: Almoxarife Beach, Caldeira Nature Reserve and Capelinhos Volcano, departing at 09:30am and 2:30pm and arriving at 12:45pm and 5:45pm at the Horta Maritime/Ferry Terminal (location) - approximate duration 3h15m.
After leaving the Maritime Terminal, we head towards Praia do Almoxarife where, in addition to the dark, volcanic-looking sand, we can see a military structure from World War II (10-minute stop). We set off in the direction of the Caldeira Nature Reserve to observe its majesty: approximately 400 metres deep and 2000 metres in diameter (a small thing ! - a 15-minute stop). After some beautiful selfies, we cut through the interior of the island towards the volcanic landscape of Capelinhos: on one side the characteristic green of Azorean landscapes and on the other the brown and grey of lunar landscapes (30-minute stop). The journey continues along the coast towards the city of Horta.
If you have reduced or conditioned mobility (or any other condition) please inform us in advance or write it down in the notes in the booking process.
