Valskådningstur + Vila Franca Islet: Heldag med lunch
Beskrivning
Denna tur kombinerar två av São Miguels mest ikoniska upplevelser under en sömlös dag: etisk valskådning guidad av marinbiologer och ett besök på den fantastiska, vulkaniska Vila Franca Islet. Få turer erbjuder denna blandning av havsdjur och tid att simma eller koppla av i en vulkanisk kraterlagun. Du kommer att guidas av kunnig personal hela tiden, njuta av en välsmakande lunch och utforska ett skyddat naturreservat som endast nås med båt. Det är den perfekta balansen mellan äventyr, lärande och avkoppling – allt på en oförglömlig dag till sjöss och på land! Höjdpunkter: - Val- och delfinskådningstur med marinbiologer - Lär dig om marina arter och bevarande under genomgången - Kryssa Atlanten på jakt efter valar, delfiner och mer - Besök Vila Franca Islet, en skyddad vulkanisk kraterö - Bada eller snorkla i holmens naturliga lagun (säsongstillgång)

Overall a great experiance. We liked that they were marine biologists that acted as guides. They a therefore very knowledgable and respectful of the wildlife, leaving when too many boats turned up. We had rough seas so could go to the lagoon so they provided a refund. We saw several pods of dolphins and a baby sperm whale, even in rough seas. You will get wet on the speed boats but that’s part of the fun. Lunch was good at a local restaurant
We saw several animals. Sperm whales and two type of dolphins. Lots of fun.
We went on the half day whale watching tour. so good we booked a second trip. Across both trips we saw common dolphins, Risso’s dolphins, pilot whales, a bryde’s whale and a sperm whale. The trips were well organised. Boats don’t get too close to the animals. Staff are very knowledgeable, approachable and friendly, and very happy to answer questions.. you can tell they’re very passionate about what they do.
Very friendly and helpful. The tour was amazing. We saw over 200 dolphins and 3 whales. We can highly recommend it.
We had a wonderful morning at sea, following a family of orcas and later a large nursery pod of common dolphins. The team were very knowledgeable.
We had such a wonderful time on this adventure, the staff of the company was amazing, and educational. They were very resourceful, and my friend and i really enjoyed the day! I would recommend to anyone who loves nature!
Really incredible day. We were lucky to see both dolphins and whales, the whales were pretty far away but I understand we don’t want to disturb their natural habitat. The true highlight for me was visiting the islet, it was a magical place. The water was crystal clear. It started raining lightly while we were there but it wasn’t cold and it just added to the experience. I will say some members of the group felt the day was a little long, but I thought they broke it up nicely with lunch and I truly enjoyed it all. I would maybe just recommend bringing dry clothes and don’t change into them until after the last boat ride to Ponta Delgada. Again, for us it was raining so it may be different for you. Also Bea, our guide, was lovely.
We got to see a lot we wouldn’t otherwise have seen. Dolphins and a whole view of the beautiful island. Visiting and swimming in Vila Franca was awesome too. Plus the guides were friendly and fun.
Seeing the wild dolphins was a fantastic experience. We enjoyed it! Our lunch was, unfortunately, a pack to go rather not great. And the trip to Vila Franca Islet could have been much better organised. You need to sit in the crowded local boat in the shining sun ( this is the only way you can get there).
We did the tour with Bea and Katharina. Both were excellent marine biologists and tour guides. We saw three different species of dolphins. Bea explained the differences very well. Also it was very animalfriendly. Once we saw the dolphins, the boat slowed down and the boat kept a distance to not disturb them. Some dolphins swam very close to the boat though. Also Bea mentioned an important point that those dolphins belong to the wild and not in an amusement or marine park!! Very well said! The stopover at that little island was very pleasant as well. Thank you☺️
