Sports and leisure activities Faial

The diving centre is run by a couple of young marine biologists. Underwater exploration is therefore carried out in an environmentally friendly way and with specialists who can provide you with information about cetaceans. They take pride in providing their clients with a highly personalized and professional service. Environmental responsibility is a top priority and they firmly believe that they must educate, involve and inspire people about the world's marine ecosystems and their incredible inhabitants.

Peter's bar also offers whale watching excursions, by the day or half-day. For these, head for the Peter Zee base. The outings take place aboard comfortable boats (with on-board toilets), but with little privacy. The organization also offers whale-watching picnics from land (in the viagas), diving, hiking, cycling, mountain bike rental and more. For further information, visit the website or go directly to the site, next to the legendary Peter Café Sport.

A very small but serious club. A true lover of the sea, Pedro (who speaks French) provides invaluable advice and recommendations. Excursions are carried out in small boats to minimize disturbance to the animals and ensure an intimate atmosphere. In addition to these marine activities, the manager also offers land-based activities. Please note: prices are degressive according to the number of people. We recommend this agency 100% for simple, exceptional moments.

For a small tennis club, with the charm of being lost in the heart of the Atlantic Ocean…

Set up by two young biologists, the agency offers tours of the island by car or trekking, as well as snorkeling, surfing, birdwatching and immersion days on a permaculture farm. There's something for everyone, including the very young, as snorkeling can be done in calm waters. Even more original, they can offer excursions to clean up the ocean! Finally, Endemic can also take you to Pico for a day if you wish.

If you want to discover the island of Faial on two wheels, this is the store for you! Located a stone's throw from the marina, opposite the church, it offers electric and mechanical bike rentals for the day. The bikes are recent, comfortable and in perfect condition. The store can also give you itineraries for exploring the island by bike, and for the less sporty, it offers a drop-off point at the top of the Caldera for a downhill ride. Very friendly and competent staff.
