Enjoy the marine wildlife of the Azores with a remarkable half-day whale-watching trip in Sao Miguel! Observe different species and learn about the area.

During this amazing whale-watching boat tour around Ponta Delgada, you will have the opportunity to watch some of more than 28 species of cetaceans that can be found in the Azores. Some of them include the Atlantic spotted dolphin, sperm whale, bottlenose dolphin, and if you're very lucky, pilot whale.

Although nature offers no guarantees, and so it is impossible to assure you that you will definitely spot the wonderful marine wildlife you booked the tour for, whales and dolphins are regularly seen during these whale-watching tours around Ponta Delgada, along with turtles, seabirds, and other interesting marine life.

Before you get on the boat and start your whale-watching adventure in Sao Miguel, the expert biologists at Futurismo Azores Adventures will give you a comprehensive briefing to explain which cetacean species can be observed, all safety measures aboard the boat, how you can respect the animals and rules of observation at sea as well as some historical facts about the region.

During your whale-watching boat tour from Ponta Delgada, each passenger is required to wear a life vest (except on the catamaran tour). Futurismo also provides raincoats and trousers if necessary, but you should come prepared with comfortable clothes, shoes, and a windbreaker, in case the weather conditions aren't ideal.

So, what are you waiting for? If you're visiting Sao Miguel in the Asozes, take your chance to participate in this wonderful whale-watching tour from Ponta Delgada! It is an experience you won't forget.

Magnífica experiencia. Por suerte pudimos ver un grupo de delfines y cachalotes. Una travesía muy agradable, aunque para hacer fotos y vídeos costaba coger un buen sitio, pues todos queríamos el mejor lugar y a veces era imposible, pero el resultado bastante bién.

Fue muy agradable la travesía. Buena organización. Tuvimos la suerte de ver grupos de delfines de tres especies y un ejemplar de cachalote. Brutal.
