WHALE AND DOLPHIN WATCHING ON TERCEIRA ISLAND

THE PERFECT DESTINATION FOR NATURE AND MARINE LIFE LOVERS: The Azores are a natural paradise and a premier destination for whale and dolphin watching. With 29 species of cetaceans recorded, the islands are home to around 33% of the world's known species, making this experience one of the most enriching and unforgettable, in the heart of the Atlantic.

Our method combines the experience of the lookouts, who observe whales and dolphins from high points on the island with long-range binoculars, with the experience of our team, ensuring a safe and respectful approach, in accordance with the Azores conduct code for cetacean observation. This model results in approximately 98% success rates for year-round sightings.


"Come and discover the wild nature of the Azores – paradise for marine life lovers!"
