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!
The guide was very nice and explained a lot about the behavior of the whales and dolphins. After the trip , we got free pictures taken by the guide. Totally recommend!
