Schwimmen Sie mit wilden Delfinen auf den Azoren





Beschreibung
Mit Picos DE Aventura gehen Sie über die typische Wildtiertour hinaus: Dies ist eine sorgfältig geführte, respektvolle Interaktion unter der Leitung von Meeresbiologen, die sich für den Meeresschutz begeistern. Was zeichnet diese Tour aus? - Wild, nicht in Gefangenschaft : Sie werden mit Delfinen in ihrer natürlichen Umgebung schwimmen, wo sie frei entscheiden können, ob sie interagieren möchten. So wird jede Begegnung sinnvoll und authentisch. - Biologisch geleitete Erfahrung : Unsere Touren werden von Experten geleitet, die fundierte Kenntnisse über das Verhalten von Delfinen, den Artenschutz und das Meeresökosystem der Azoren haben. - Kleine Gruppe, geringe Auswirkungen : Wir begrenzen die Anzahl der Schwimmer, um eine ruhige, nicht aufdringliche Anwesenheit im Wasser zu gewährleisten – was das Erlebnis sicherer, persönlicher und respektvoller gegenüber den Tieren macht. Dies ist keine Freizeitpark-Show – es ist ein Moment der stillen Verbindung auf dem offenen Ozean. Eine einzigartige Chance, die Anmut wilder Delfine hautnah zu erleben, geführt von denen, die sie am besten kennen und schützen.

Once in a lifetime experience. Totally worth the money. I was apprehensive about being out in open ocean but seeing the dolphins in their natural habitat was amazing! We went in the water twice and saw dolphins each time. Our guide Gina was awesome. She explained everything & made us feel very comfortable. We appreciated how their foremost concern was always for the dolphins safety. Definitely a must when visiting the Azores.
It was AMAZING! First we thought there wouldn’t be any dolfins, but then a whole group was there! It’s so special to see the dolfins in the wild and you could swim with them. Once in a lifetime experience! The guide was very sweet and passionated. And also, the ride on the boat was so much fun, the captains were cool.
A very good experience with the dolphins and also with Fernanda's team. I recommend it 100%
Worth the price. Swam within a few feet of dolphins. Once in a lifetime experience.
The dolphins in a group of 30-40 animals were quickly found. We were released several times when the dolphin flock came at us. A wonderful experience that we will remember for a long time. I was surprised that the dolphins were so large, they could grow between 3-4 meters long. Very nice biologist aboard. Had the absolute impression that they took care of / took care of the dolphins despite the fact that this is a tourist magnet. Recommended!
THIS EXPERIENCE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!! I was expecting to hop into the water and see a few dolphins in the water in the distance but it was soo much better than this. I think it’s important to understand that one day to the next will offer different experiences. We are swimming in the ocean with wild dolphins! You are lowered into the water once they find a pod of dolphins and you swim close to the boat while they swim around you while they pass by. We had 3 chances to be in the water, one of which a couple dolphins were far in the distance, 1 where the dolphins were all around with us and even interacting with us under the water & one where there were tons just swimming by under us. The guides made a great effort to ensure everyone on the boat had at least one great encounter. This by far exceeded my expectations for an open ocean dolphin swimming experience. Very kind and gentle staff! Even showers available for after your swim!
This was probably one of the top 3 experiences of my life!! I was hoping to maybe see some dolphins from the boat and then maybe 1 or 2 in the water but holy cow!! We saw SO MANY DOLPHINS while in the water! They were so curious and one got incredibly close to me and looked me in the eyes - it was a moment I will never forget. Even the people working on the boat were freaking out about how cool that was! The boat ride was so fun, the people were incredibly nice and it felt very respectful of the environment and dolphins. I seriously cannot recommend this enough!!
This tour would be better titled - a chance to glimpse wild dolphins underwater from a distance. The idea of seeing a dolphin underwater was far more enticing than the experience turned out to be. Seeing them swim and jump alongside the boat was the best part. The guides find the pods of dolphins who are swimming along with the boat. We saw much more of the dolphins from the boat than from the water and this part was enjoyable (but a bumpy ride and we were freezing). They drive the boat ahead of the dolphins and then drop (push) you into the water at the exact moment that you might catch a glimpse of dolphins passing by underwater. This is tricky because it means you have to time it to be holding your breath right when they drop (push) you into the water so you can catch the glimpse. If you don't have your breath and need to come up for air, you've missed the glimpse. We each had 3 tries so got a little better at it by the third time. I personally felt pushed without warning (from a position they have you assume on the side of the boat) so wasn't holding my breath the way I wanted. The experience is jarring, frantic and chaotic. I agree with another reviewer who wrote that it's anything but relaxing. The photo they show of the dolphins underwater is somewhat accurate because as soon as you land in the water, the dolphins scatter going either around you or more often diving deep underneath you. The dolphins I saw diving underneath me were not as close as those in the photo. And the dolphins are gone in a flash. They all but admitted that they should have canceled on this day but they didn't cancel. You'll have to read the other reviews to see if it's better on other days. When we got out to the dolphins (about 30 min rough boat ride), our leader said that maybe it was too windy but that we would try to 'finish the activity.' Six of the 8 of us on board took 3 turns. 2 people on board took one turn and then didn't go back out. When we got back to land, she said we were very 'brave' to have completed the activity in these conditions. I felt ripped off that they didn't just cancel and give us a chance to do it on another day. They give you a short wetsuit and a heavy raincoat (for wind and spray). You wear both underneath a life vest on the boat ride. When it's your turn, you remove the life vest and rain coat and go in either with just a snorkel mask or mask and tube. Nobody used the tube after their first turn. You're dropping under the surface of the water and theoretically could clear the tube at the surface to keep watching but the tube is too much hassle when you have seconds to get your glimpse. I had very high expectations for this experience. I had booked 3 tours over the course of 5 days in the hopes that I would have a good experience and good weather on one of the 3 trips. After the first experience, I canceled the other two. Even in better weather, I didn't have confidence that the experience would be satisfying. They warn you not to take the trip if you have back problems, which I don't. But my low back and neck were sore for about 24 hours after the trip which I attribute to being pushed off the boat (by the guide's knee in my low back). I wasn't eager to go again. It was a big let down.
An amazing experience, guided by Matilda. We search for dolphins and enjoy swimming near them. I totally recommend it. 👏👏👏👏
The guide was great, she explained a lot and took care that every group-member (we were only 6 group-members) had enough time to see the dolphins- we had a great experience
