A website at frijoc.com carries the details of what is on offer. Whaling was an important island industry until the 1980s, and its boats and lookout posts are kept in island museums, so a visitor can trace that history between outings.
Atlantic weather systems pass over the islands, so showers and wind can arrive quickly at any time of year, and a waterproof layer is worth packing. Limpets, tuna, grilled fish and caldeirada fish stews are common, and most islands make their own cheese, which gives a visitor plenty to try between outings.
