What you can expect

Embark on an unforgettable adventure on the sparkling blue waters off Horta, home to some of the ocean’s most magnificent creatures. Spend the day watching whales and dolphins display their majesty just off the island’s southern coast.

Your experience begins on land with a detailed briefing about the species commonly seen on the tour, along with important safety procedures. Then, board a comfortable whale-watching vessel and glide into crystalline waters, admiring the dramatic black rocks, lush green hills, and soaring seabirds along the coast.

Attentive spotters on board keep watch for whales and dolphins, guiding your gaze to blowhole sprays and tail flaps. Marvel as these incredible creatures breach the surface, sometimes even approaching the boat. Species you may encounter include sperm, fin, and blue whales, as well as bottlenose and spotted dolphins.

Beyond whales and dolphins, you might also spot turtles, sunfish, and schools of tuna swimming gracefully around your boat. Expert commentary from an onboard marine biologist ensures your journey is as educational as it is awe-inspiring.

Join us for a remarkable experience that combines adventure, discovery, and the beauty of the Azores.
