Whale Watching + Vila Islet Boat Tour

Embark on a boat trip along the coast of São Miguel for a chance to spot whales and dolphins in Azorean waters. Meet at the port of Vila Franca do Campo for a theoretical introduction to local wildlife and safety guidelines. Board a zodiac boat to observe blue and humpback whales, bottlenose dolphins, sperm whales, and pilot whales. An expert naturalist guide will help identify different species based on specific characteristics. After the whale watching experience, sail around the islet of Vila Franca do Campo to admire its caldera and seabirds like Cory's shearwater and the black-footed tern. The tour concludes after three hours back at the departure dock.
