On this boat trip along the coast of São Miguel, you'll admire whales and dolphins that inhabit Azorean waters and sail around the islet of Vila Franca do Campo.

Whale Watching + Vila Islet Boat Tour

We will meet at the port of Vila Franca do Campo, located south of São Miguel Island. The trip begins with a theoretical introduction to local wildlife, followed by an overview of safety guidelines for high seas. Then, we will board a zodiac boat to spot whales and dolphins in the Azores.

The Portuguese archipelago in the North Atlantic hosts diverse marine wildlife, including blue and humpback whales and bottlenose dolphins, along with sperm and pilot whales. A naturalist guide will be present to help identify different species based on specific features such as tail size, fin shape, and skin color.

After the whale watching experience, we will sail next to the islet of Vila Franca do Campo, where we can admire its caldera. If conditions permit, we may also observe seabirds such as Cory's shearwater and the black-footed tern.

After three hours of sailing the Atlantic, we will return to the departure dock.

Whale Watching

The coast of São Miguel Island is an excellent location for observing whales, dolphins, and other cetaceans. However, sightings can vary due to unpredictable factors such as weather conditions or the breeding seasons of each species.
