Swimming with Dolphins in Terceira Island

Absolutely unforgettable experience! My wife and daughter participated in the activity and had the opportunity to get into the water four times. They saw many dolphins in an exciting encounter with the animals. They came back from the walk wonderful! Picos de Aventura team is professional and committed to providing the best experience possible. We recommend without any doubt to those who visit the Azores.

This was the best experience. The staff was so kind and calming. They were super friendly the whole time and told us some interesting facts about the island and wildlife on the boat ride out and back! I would recommend this place to everyone.

First of all, very good customer service! We were supposed to do this activity on Terceira, but it was cancelled due to the weather. Because we could not do another day there, it could be rescheduled to a later time on Sao Miguel. Super solution! The crew is great and despite the rougher seas we felt very safe. We all went into the water twice and got to see the dolphins. Highly recommended!

This was AMAZING and a must do. Guides for us in the water three different times with a massive pod of dolphins, and it was the experience of a lifetime.

The dolphins were great fun to watch from the boat. They are fast and challenging to see in the water. Fun experience!

It was an incredible experience. Joana and André were very attentive and caring. Always worried and ready to help. And, of course, not forgetting Diogo at the watchpoint so we could get as close to the dolphins as possible. Unforgettable tomorrow swimming with the dolphins right there nearby. Thank you Picos da Aventura for the excellent organization.

Nice experience. Both the dolphins swim seen and also from the boat. Guidance was expert. The fast boat on the water was also nice.

The guides were incredible, within 15 min they found the first Dolphins. They managed that we could swim with them 4 times. The Dolphins also accompanied us when we were driving with the boat, it seemed as they were enjoying our company too. The 2 hours passed by quickly, but luckily the guides made videos and we can refresh our memories regularly. We felt very save the entire trip.

Amazing experience. We've done whale shark swimming in Mexico, turtles in Hawaii, scuba diving in the Florida Keys, snorkeling in Thailand... This swimming with dolphins was far and away one of the best experiences of all. We were the only boat out there, it was my husband and I and probably 5 other people on a rubber boat with 3 guides. Wet suits and snorkel gear are provided. We got three chances to swim with the dolphin pods, the quieter and smoother you got off the boat, the longer the dolphins would stick around. It was epic, no life jackets required to be worn on the boat. Would do this again if we are ever back on Terceira! The water is way warmer out to sea than it is on the coast, by the way!

It was a wonderfully beautiful and unique experience! We have seen at least 10-15 dolphins swimming under and around us. The escorts on the boat (Francisco and Juana, if I am not mistaken) were enthusiastic and very capable. Definitely worth the price too. Highly recommended for anyone coming to Terceira!
