Step aboard for an unforgettable 3-hour adventure at sea! The waters surrounding the Azores are home to an incredible variety of marine life—28 species of whales and dolphins have been recorded here, along with graceful sea turtles, seabirds, and other fascinating creatures.

Your journey begins at the marina in Ponta Delgada, where a friendly team of marine biologists will welcome you and share fascinating facts about the wildlife you might encounter. You’ll also learn about the rules that protect these animals and the safety measures to ensure a comfortable trip.

As you cruise along the stunning coastline of São Miguel Island, keep your eyes on the horizon—you never know when a dolphin might leap from the waves or a whale might surface nearby. The biologists will be by your side to explain what you’re seeing, answer your questions, and make sure you don’t miss a single magical moment. And of course, there’s plenty of time for photos!
