Een vakantie op de Azoren is niet compleet zonder een boottocht op zoek naar walvissen. Je gaat mee met zeebiologen aan boord van een speedboot - met een maximumcapaciteit van 14 - en vaart vanaf Ponta Delgada over de zee naar de wateren voor de kust van São Miguel. Hoor tot in detail alles over de 28 walvissoorten in deze golven. En met een beetje geluk zie je een paar soorten in deze drie uur.
