About this Experience:

Dive into the details and see what makes this experience truly unique.

Experience one of the most exciting activities in the Azores with a whale and dolphin watching tour. During this approximately three-hour boat trip, you will have the chance to spot some of the 28 cetacean species that inhabit or pass through the waters of the Azores, including sperm whales and common dolphins.

In addition to whales and dolphins, you may also see sea turtles, seabirds, and other marine species that make each trip truly unique and unforgettable.

Before departure, participants receive a short briefing from marine biologists who explain which species might be seen, share scientific facts, and highlight the importance of respecting the animals and the marine environment. All safety procedures are covered, and guidelines are provided for a responsible and enjoyable experience aboard a comfortable semi-rigid boat led by experienced guides.

As we are observing wild animals in their natural habitat, each trip is different and unpredictable. If no cetaceans are sighted, we offer a free return trip on another date, at no extra cost, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy this unique marine wildlife experience in the Azores.
