Whale and Dolphin Watching

Get on board of an unforgettable and unique experience: watching whales and dolphins in their natural habitat! Did you know that one-third of the world's cetacean species go through the Azores?

Venture aboard a boat from one of the several companies that offer this activity, and for 3 hours you will have the opportunity to see several species of dolphins and whales, which differ according to the time of year. There are, however, 3 species of dolphins and one species of whale — the iconic Sperm Whale (Physeter macrocephalus) — that are resident and can be observed throughout the year.
