Super cool. First time got to see dolphins very close for a few minutes, second time not so much, but the host made it up to us by taking us to see false orkas that were in the area and then letting us snorkel . Overall amazing experience and a good variety of more than expected

Full description

Embark on an unforgettable adventure with our tour, promising an enchanting encounter with the mesmerizing dolphin and whale species inhabiting the stunning Azores archipelago. While we guarantee sightings of these magnificent creatures, it's important to note that nature's whims dictate whether it will be dolphins, whales, or both gracing us with their presence during any given excursion.

Our commitment to responsible wildlife interaction means that while we aspire to offer swimming opportunities with dolphins, we respect their wild nature and acknowledge the unpredictability of such encounters. Please be aware that swimming with whales is strictly prohibited in the Azores, except under special authorization from the Government for initiatives promoting conservation and sustainability.

In the rare event that neither dolphins nor whales grace us with their presence on your tour, rest assured that we offer options for rebooking another tour at no additional cost. Should weather conditions impede rescheduling, a full refund will be provided.

Furthermore, if your tour includes sightings of at least one species of dolphin or whale but swimming with dolphins proves unattainable, we provide alternatives such as another complimentary tour. In cases where weather prevents rescheduling, a nominal No Swimmer fee will be applied.

Prior to your adventure, a brief simulation will familiarize you with the equipment and guide you on the best practices for entering the ocean, prioritizing the safety of both guests and the marine life we encounter. This preparatory step underscores our commitment to facilitating a respectful and responsible approach to wildlife interaction, ensuring an enriching experience for all involved.

Includes

  • Dolphin Spotter
  • Sighting Guarantee
  • Equipment
  • Tour Guide
  • Public Liability Insurance
  • WHALE OR DOLPHIN SPECIES OBSERVED AND NO SWIMMING
  • Although our aim is to swim with dolphins, we cannot predict whether we will achieve it, since we work with wild animals, and their behavior is unpredictable. Nevertheless, if at least one species of dolphin or whale is observed and it is not possible to swim with dolphins (note: swimming with whales is forbidden in the Azores, only available when authorized by the Government of the Azores and for purposes that promote its conservation and sustainability), customer will have the possibility of another free tour, or in case of unavailability due to weather conditions, the No Swimmer fee will be applied.
