Dolphin and whale watching in Azores
Are you ready for a boat tour with dolphin and whale watching in Azores - São Miguel?
During this 3-hour cruise to see whales, departing from Ponta Delgada, you will be accompanied by an expert marine biologist, who will tell you all about the amazing creatures. Thanks to our strategically placed lookouts on the south coast of the island, we have a success rate of 99% of finding sea wildlife on our boat cruises.
The Azores, located in the Atlantic Ocean, is a passing point for 28 different species of cetaceans, making it one of the biggest cetacean sanctuaries worldwide. São Miguel is one of our favorite islands as there are so many amazing things to see and do. The sea is definitely a big attraction for ocean lovers who visit the Azores. Depending on the season, you will see many different species on this boat trip in the Azores. Some of the species you can find are the spotted dolphins, common dolphins, pilot whales, fin whales, baleen whales, blue whales, sperm whales, sei whales, humpback whales and many more.
There are several tours on different boats (catamarans, speedboats or RIBs) available. Please be careful when booking to select a slot with the preferred boat you'd like to have the tour on. You can choose between the different slots and will see the options for the boat on the selection.
Before we start our tour, you will receive a safety briefing. There you will learn about the most important rules and how to treat the animals with respect. This is very important to us. When arriving the wildlife, we stop the boat so we can watch them swim around, totally free in their natural habitat. It is an amazing feeling, watching them in wild, with so much freedom.
This boat tour is a true adventure and will be one of the most exciting moments of your holidays. Get your friends and family and let’s go on this cruise in the Azores.
