Nestled in the mid-Atlantic and kissed by the Gulf Stream, the Azores's mild climate makes an ideal playground for whales and dolphins. Set off in search of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat with this half-day boat trip off São Miguel. What's more, you'll have an expert guide on hand to fill you in on facts about the wildlife on display.

Schön wäre gewesen, das Speedboat schon bei der Buchung mal zu sehen. Wir waren zuerst etwas skeptisch, als wir das kleine Speedboat und den großen Ozean gesehen haben. Da das Meer an diesem Tag aber sehr ruhig war, war es ein sehr schöner Ausflug und wir haben einige Wale und Delfine gesehen.

Met prima weer, een goede kapitein en prima gids was dit een erg leuke ervaring. We hebben walvissen en dolfijnen gezien.

Leuk: snelle boot, mooi weer en veel tijd en moeite om dolfijnen en walvis te spotten. Serieus zoeken, ook met hulp van mensen aan land. Minder leuk: vanwege snelheid en klappen op het water en de duur ervan, gaat de rug pijn doen.
