WHALE AND DOLPHIN WATCHING

Thar she blows! There are still places on our planet where this phrase is the prelude to a cruel hunt, that century after century has brought many whale species to the edge of extinction.
Tha Azores, an hystorically important place for the sperm whale hunt, since the mid 80's have become one of the best worlwide examples of how the presence of whales and dolphins can be turned into profitable and ecologically sustainable business, in which animals are strictly protected and cannot be harmed in any way.

Our guided whale watching trips last 3-4 hours and have a 97% success rate.

Join us and discover the secrets of the Master of Diving, the sperm whale, enjoy a close encounter with the immense baleen whales and the unsurpassed friendliness of dolphins!

THE GIANTS OF THE SEA

Sperm whales and dolphins are year-round residents so that encounters with them are always guaranteed.
