Full description

Once you come to the Azores, you cannot miss the opportunity of seeing whales and dolphins in their natural habitat. Before this amazing boat trip through the blue ocean of the island, our biologists will give you a briefing to explain which cetacean species can be observed, safety measures aboard, how we respect the animals and rules of observation at sea as well as some historical facts. After that, we will continue our tour on the sea.

During this fantastic activity, it will be possible to watch some of more than 25 cetacean species. Although nature offers no guarantees, whales and dolphins are regularly seen on our half day tours, along with turtles, seabirds, and other marine life.

After lunch our jeep tour begins. Inside the volcanic crater, you'll find the quiet and charming parish of Sete Cidades. Here, it's common to see farmers using horses as their means of locomotion, evoking a sense of times gone by. Between farmland, forests and pastures, explore every corner of this volcanic region. You'll also have the chance to visit the beautiful church of St Nicholas.

You'll pass fantastic viewpoints such as Pico do Carvão and Pico de Santa Cruz, Miradouro Vista do Rei, where you can enjoy views of the coast, lagoons surrounded by lush vegetation and the mountains. If the weather is good, you can contemplate the Lagoa de Santiago and Lagoa Rasa.

Reviews

Watching whales
We came from Minesota where there is not an oppurtunity to see whales otr dolphins. I have to say seeing them alive, on their natural habitat was magnificent. We manage to saw some big specimens and for what the biologist told us it is quite safe if we respect their space. The 7 cities lagoon is very beautifull and the view from the top great for photos. Thanks to all.

Complete day trip
We started in the morning with a boat trip to the see the whales and dolphins because our daughter simply loves this animals. A biologist was there to give us all the relevant info. Then we had a tasty traditional lunch (i don´t remenber the name of the place) and then we went to the famous 7 cidades lagoon an impressive natural spot with many stories that our guide told us about. In the end we still have a termal bath at Ferraria. We recomend.
