This is a version for you, always thirsty for wonder, peace, and novelty.

Explore the valley of Sete Cidades and its peaceful beauty around the lagoons. Or the valley of Furnas where the clearings are worthy of the most renowned painters. The waters are caramelized by the power of nature and the sulfur mouths that coo to the surface.

In addition, dare to look a whale or a dolphin in their eyes, in the open ocean, to climb to Serra Devassa and to the water springs that feed the island, to unveil secluded trails, and to find what the majestic inner paths hide.

Reviews & more

It’s impressive that we haven’t found anybody during our walking tour. It was amazing the communion with nature. It feels that nature is still untouched.

Andrea Sievers, Germany

We had a great whale watching trip! Compared to some of the other operators that were on the water the same day, these guys seem to care much more about the animals (when we spotted a whale, the captain slowly got us closer to it, trying not to disturb the animal, while some other boats went at it at top speed).

We saw about a dozen young sperm whales, and a large pod of dolphins, but even without any sightings, the fantastic three-hour boat trip would have been worth the money!

Ewan, The Netherlands

After swimming with the dolphins in open sea I was feeling differently… I felt such a powerful energy. It’s an experience that I recommend to everybody!

Joana Cardoso, Portugal

Excellent English spoken and very knowledgeable guides. The company shows true passion for working with guests and imparting a good cultural experience.

John Smith, USA

I enjoyed particularly the fact that we could visit São Miguel on the jeep tour and got a whole different idea from our last trip. Knowledgeable information is given by the guide about the island specially concerning Azorean history and traditions. Great service and wonderful friendly guides!

F.A.Q.s

Are the Azores a good whale watching destination?

The Azores are a great whale watching destination, probably one of the best in the whole world. We have sperm whales all year round. Being in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, lots of cetacean species pass by our islands during their annual migration.

Are there any pickup and drop off locations I can use?

Yes, please check the Departure and Return section presented on every tour.

Can I cancel my tour reservation and have a full refund?

Yes, you can check our detailed cancellation and refund policies per tour on each tour page, under “Good to Know” section

Can I take my camera with me during this activity?

Yes, but be aware that your material will be under your responsability.

Can I touch the whales and dolphins?

No, our strict whale and dolphin watching rules forbid to touch the animals. They are wild and we should respect them.

Can I use my drone during this tour?

You cannot use a drone on our tours with other travelers. However, if you really want to fly your drone, it is possible on a private tour with us.

Do you have toilets on the boat?

On the catamarans and the bigger zodiac boats, there is a toilet facility. However on the small zodiac boats there is no toilets.

Do you sell medication for seasickness?

No, we do not sell anything on the boat. If you know that you get easily seasick, it is better to purchase the adequate medication before the tour.

You can select any tour within our website and get your booking confirmation on your email immediately. Alternativelly, you can visit us on our shops or get in touch with us by phone, email or send us a message on social media (Instagram and Facebook)

How many whales and dolphins can I see?

It depends, each day on the ocean is a surprise. Sometimes we can see one whale only, and other times we will see several species with pods of dolphins including thousands of individuals. We work with nature, the animals are not under our control.

I am pregnant but I would like to do this activity. Is it possible?

We don’t recommend this tour for pregnant women.

Is this an adventure kind of tour?

It is a great adventure, but not physically demanding.

What if the weather isn’t ok?
