Billeder af Azorerne - Ponta Delgada

Unfortunately, we didn’t see any whales, but Nerea, our biologist, was very clear from the beginning: you can’t force nature. And I really appreciated that. The focus wasn’t just on “finding whales”, but on learning about the animals and understanding the environment we were in. We were lucky enough to see **three different species of dolphins**, which was already amazing! Nerea gave us so much interesting information about them, and you could really tell that she was passionate about what she does. And the speedboat ride itself? SO much fun. Especially when we picked up some speed — definitely part of the experience! So yes, no whales this time, but I still had an absolutely lovely time and learned a lot. Sometimes nature simply says “not today” — and that’s okay.

Very nice excursion on the catamaran! We were able to observe two common bottlenose dolphins and a large group of Atlantic spotted dolphins. It was a great experience to see the dolphins in the wild. The staff was very nice and friendly. Overall a nice and recommendable tour!

Very good experience, we saw two different species of dolphins although we were left wanting to see whales or other animals but it didn't happen that day. The group was small and we were lucky that our guide was Spanish. The guide was very pleasant and friendly. He was a biologist, explaining various details to us and answering questions. However, the price was a bit high since of the three hours you are on the boat we only saw dolphins for about 15 minutes and the rest of the day was just going around in circles. The speedboat experience is highly recommended, as it is more adventurous and you have greater proximity to the different animals.

Friendly, passionate team providing great experience. Saw both whales and dolphins, crew went the extra mile to ensure we saw both.

Very well organised trip, didnt see whales but did see 3 different types of dolphin. The trip provider was very proffesional and the catamaran was comfortable.

It was fine and we did see dolphins in great numbers. But as soon as we spotted these no further attempts were made to find whales or even more dolphins. So although they did what was on the tour brief it was minimal. But excellent to see the beautiful, fun dolphins. It's a long journey both ways. So taking a drink and snack is advised. Also it turned rainy and cold so a rain jacket and sweater is good to have in your bag.

We were exceptionally lucky and got close to three species of dolphins and a whale got really close to us and dove under our motor boat two times. The biologists and personell we're really professional and friendly and at least tried to keep their distance to the whale until it came our direction on its own.

Nice trip. Professional! We saw 4 species. I have been on similar trips all over the world and I rank this highly. Incredible marine life. !

We enjoyed the trip immensely . We enjoyed it so much we booked for a second time. We were lucky enough to see a huge pod of both Common Dolphins and Atlantic Spotted Dolphins on both occasions. Numbering 100 or more. We were well looked after. There were plenty of people on deck to help you as you tried to move around the boat. Your safety was definitely their top priority.

A very well organised tour which not only provided the chance to see dolphins and whales in their natural environment but which also provided an expert commentary on the species we were very fortunate to observe.
