Terceira Whale Watching

We'll meet at the agreed time at the Angra do Heroísmo marina to begin our boat tour around the coast of Terceira island. As we sail the Atlantic Ocean, we'll enjoy views of the island from the boat.

You'll have the opportunity to see whales in their natural habitat. The Azores' strategic position between Europe and America makes the islands a key stop for migrating whales at different times of the year. In summer, it is common to see pilot whales, while during spring and autumn, blue whales, the largest animals on earth, are more prevalent.

During the tour, we'll learn about the characteristics of these protected mammals and the importance of caring for the environment and preserving the biodiversity of Terceira. If we're fortunate, we might also see dolphins which share the waters of the island.

After 3 hours of sailing, we'll return to the starting point.

Important Information

Whales are commonly found off the coast of Terceira island; however, they are wild animals and unpredictable. We cannot guarantee the number of whales or the species observed during the tour.
