Boat day trip in S. Miguel
we experience two types of boats on this tour. The first one was a bigger, more prepared for deep see trips on which we went to get to know the marine life of the island. On the afternon we try a fishing boat (that smeels like fish) and we could get to know how the brave fishermans of azores are still doing their daily life. If you like boats and the see, I recomend.

Trip to azores
It was a almost perfect day, except for the morning part. We went on a boat to try to see some dolphins and whales, but the sea had big waves which make it harder to see them clearly. The agitated sea also cause me some discomfort. The rest of the day went smoothly as expected and we were able to see a perfect vulcanic island near the mainland.

Delfiner och valar i Portugal
några vänner rekommenderade denna kryssning med turné i Azorerna så jag bestämde mig för att prova. Jag var så glad att se delfinerna och valarna på havet. Lyckligtvis är det en bra dag med lugna vatten som är mycket bättre för observation. Guiden berättade på engelska om många arter som lever på havet nära ön S. Miguel

Wonderfull time in Azores
Had a great time in Azores. The guide-biologist told us a lot of info about the natural life in Azores and the dolphins and whales that live or migrate near. the tour continued to Vila Franca where we eat a delicious meal and then we took a fishing boat to the islat, a round island that born from a vulcano. Delicious day with good companies.
