Whale and Dolphin Watching Experience
Imagine being on one of our boats, slicing through the waters of the deep blue Atlantic, the waves glistening with expectation. Suddenly you see a flash and a sleek shape breaks the surface, exploding into view – it’s the fluke of an immense sperm whale –a short distance away! You can see its grea... Read More

Whale and Dolphin Watching Tour
This is one of our most popular tours and for good reason! The whale and dolphin watching off Ponta Delgada is hard to match. Departing from the south coast of São Miguel Island, we’ll be looking for seasonal and resident whales journeying along our coast. The adventure begins at our comfortable facility at Ponta Delgada harbor. You’ll meet our biologists and guides and learn about the different species you might spot during your tour. They’ll also explain how to respect the whales’ environment as well as important rules to ensure the animals’ safety and wellbeing. Every whale and dolphin watching tour is unique, we never know what species we will see. As our tour winds down, we’ll head back to the harbor, hopefully with lots of memories and photos. We’ll welcome you back to our shop for some local tea and to share some of our experiences. Our biologists are also wonderful photographers and they’ll edit their photos of your tour, putting them on our blog for your viewing later in the day.
