THE MAGIC OF SWIMMING WITH THE DOLPHINS
There is no doubt that watching cetaceans in their natural habitat is a truly unforgettable experience, which, here in the Azores, can be enriched with an even more exciting one: swimming with the dolphins.
For some it represents a mystic thing, for others is something like going back to the origin. For everybody is an experience that will be printed in memory as one of the most intense moment in life.
Our trips to swim with the dolphins last 3-4 hours and allow each swimmer to enter the water at least 3-4 times; sometimes it will happen to be able to swim with different species of dolphins at the same time.
Confidence in swimming with fins and snorkel is required
If you do not feel confortable, we can provide short courses in confined waters.
BEHAVIOUR IN THE WATER
Here are the
5 golden rules
to respectful swimming with the dolphins:
Do not enter the water before the OK from the crew
After wearing fins, mask and snorkel get in the water noiselessly
Swim slowly and avoid making splashes
Keep your arms close to your body and do not try to touch the dolphins
Carefully follow crew’s advice (directives, instructions, directions, etc)
