Whale Watching

ONE OF THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD TO OSBERVE CETACEANS IN THEIR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

During the whale watching season you have a chance to observe up to 28 different species of cetaceans but also different kind of turtles, fish, sharks, rays...

Spring time is the best to see the biggest animals on earth, the baleen whales and summer is better to see the iconic Sperm whale. Dolphins can be seen all year round. But nature is wild and free and we cannot never predict what she will share with us.

For sure it will be an adventure that you will never forget !

We have a partnership with a local company based in Lajes do Pico, which is going out with only one boat, and has a small and very professional team.
