GIANTS OF THE SEA 2009
BOOK BY 31st DECEMBER 2008 AND GET 10% OFF!
Blue Whale The biggest animal ever to have inhabited our planet The Season of the Giants in the Azores
The baleen whales reach the Azores in spring, to feed on tiny crustaceans called Krill.
Yet they are the biggest animals ever to have inhabited our planet...

SPECIAL OFFER MARCH & APRIL 2009

Book your holiday by 31st December 2008 and get a 10% discount!

The package Giants of the Sea 2009 provides you with the best opportunities of close encounters with the Baleen Whales (toothless whales), such as the Blue Whale, Sei Whale, Fin Whale and the Humpback.

But there is even more to this program: you will also meet the Sperm Whale and many species of dolphins, such as the bottlenose, common, striped and the Risso's. Do you want to swim with the dolphins? Here is the right place!

Come discover the unspoilt nature of the Azores: the second best island destination in the world for sustainable tourism, according to National Geographic Traveller.

1. INTRODUCTION TO THE PROGRAM
The Whale Watching program Giants of the Sea is the ideal holiday for whale and dolphin lovers and for those who really like unspoilt nature and wildlife. It also proves to be an excellent opportunity (and a lot of fun!) for students and teachers of scientific disciplines.
2. IS IT THE RIGHT HOLIDAY FOR YOU?
If all you want is a two-week break sunbathing and doing nothing (and there is nothing wrong with it!), this may not be the right holiday for you. A bit of an adventurous spirit, love for the ocean and boating: you bring these ingredients and, along with the whales, we will make your holiday simply unforgettable.
3. WHALE WATCHING: THE BOAT TRIPS
We operate 7.5 m long semi-rigid inflatable boats. Due to their sea-going qualities, safety excellence and low acoustic impact on the environment, they are the most commonly used Whale Watching vessels in the Azores. Each trip is preceded by a briefing and the hydrophone on board will let you enter the wonderful world of sounds that whales and dolphins use to communicate.
4. WHY TWO WEEKS?
Because a two-week stay will allow us to choose the best days for your Whale Watching trips, thus avoiding to rush you on the boat when weather conditions or sea state are not ideal. Least but not last, you will have time to discover the beauties of Pico and the near island of Faial.
5. EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT
The briefings and evening lectures will provide a unique opportunity to learn about whales and dolphins, their behaviour and how to identify them at sea. The educational aspects are an integral part of the holiday and will greatly enhance your experience at sea. They also provide the tools to make other people understand how crucial it is to protect our whale and dolphin friends.
