São Miguel - Whale Watching

Deep in the Atlantic off the coast of Portugal the Azores Islands are considered by many as the ideal location to spot dolphins and whales in their natural environment.

The opportunity is yours for the taking with a three-hour tour, so climb aboard and before setting sail, you will be equipped with safety gear and given a brief explanation on how to preserve both your safety and that of the areas that you will visit.

Head out into the incredibly rich ocean surrounding the Azores Islands. This richness provides a diversity of species unmatched anywhere else in Europe. Adding to the natural biodiversity of the area is the existence of both resident and migrating species, which allows for year-round observation.

The abundance of dolphins is simply remarkable. You'll find the dolphins everywhere, in groups of varying sizes, traveling, feeding, or simply playing their seemingly never-ending games. A single trip may provide the possibility of seeing the common Atlantic spotted dolphin, the bottlenose, Risso’s and striped dolphins, and even some whales.

Grab your camera and make your way into the deep blue sea for a chance to explore the mysteries of the ocean.
