Horta: Whale and Dolphin Watching Expedition

Amazing experience! Really enjoyed the tour, Guide was really knowledgeable and explained everything in details. We were lucky to sea a massive group of dolphins and 5 sperm whales 🐋😊 Our marine biologist was very knowledgeable and it was just great to hear about animals while we were able to sea them. It was a bit turbulent during the drive, because of the weather. But it all doesn’t matter once you spot a big whale on a surface and shortly after 4 more 🐋 Definitely would recommend! They really care about making sure that you will see the animals - twice after waiting captain was moving the boat to a different area, making sure that boat comes in front to catch them and to reach the place where the whales were. And tasty hot tea and lemon cookies after the cold ride was just a perfect ending of the amazing trip Overall-just an amazing organisation and very friendly staff .

My wife and I did the whale watching tour on October 11, and we had an amazing time. We were able to see three Sei Whales, one Bryde's Whale and a lot of different species of dolphins. The group size was perfect, consisting of a total number of 11 tourists, and the tour was accompanied by two marine biologists. One of them, Cristiana, gave us a lot of interesting informations about the whales and dolphins we were able to see. The other marine biologist took photos of the animals, the best of which were provided to us as a complimentary service afterwards. The seas were a little rough at times and there’s quite a chance of getting real wet, especially when seated in front of the boat. We had been provided with appropriate attire, though, consisting of a waterproof jacket and trousers. Just make sure to bring somewhat waterproof shoes or ones that dry quickly afterwards. ;-) All in all it was a fantastic experience, muito obrigado to everyone at Naturalist Science and Tourism!
