Once in a lifetime experience.

Amazing experience. We was literally 100s of dolphins. Guides were knowledgeable, organised, safe and excited to be showing us. Group of 8 split into two groups of four and in and out of the water at least four times. Good snorkels with good visibilitiy.

Incredible experience!

Incredible experience! Captain Nunu and the guide Maria treated us wonderfully. The explanations were very clear and interesting, and although the activity was in English, they also explained it to us in Spanish when necessary. We saw many dolphins and swam with them. An unforgettable experience. A 10 for both! Highly recommended! We were even able to see a blue shark!

Wonderful experience with dolphins

We had a fantastic experience! The company booked us last minute and was willing to run their tour just for us as we were the only ones signed up. Everyone was professional and knowledgeable - they took photos and videos for us during our tour. They have a dolphin spotter high up on a cliff to help guide the boat - and work to give us an opportunity to meet the dolphins while still being respectful of these wild creatures. Truly a special time.

Family outing on Terceira

We experienced three dives per group and saw many dolphins. Karolina and the captian really tried to show us as many dolphins as possible. All equipment was provided. Convenient to those staying in Angra do Heroismo - you can just walk to the marina.

Great experience, saw loads of dolphins. Guide and driver are very respectful of the animals too.

My family and I went on this trip with Ocean Emotion. It was brilliant. We saw many pods of dolphins and all had an amazing experience in the water. In many respects my favourite part was when the dolphins swam along with the boat at some speed. Our guide and driver were so respectful of the animals taking great care not to disturb them, allowing only 2-3 of us in the water at one time. Our guide was also very knowledgeable about the animals. The company has spotters on the island making the chance of seeing dolphins so much higher. I highly recommend booking with this company.

Unique experience

Owl tour to meet dolphins and other schools of fish. Eco-friendly, informative. We had the opportunity to swim right next to dolphins several times.

Swimming with dolphins on Terceira Island . Try this amazing experience once in your life

We’ve never lived such a great experience . Thanks to the expert biologist and the nice skipper we could see hundreds of dolphins swimming and jumping all around us and we had the opportunity to dive and swim with them. The ocean water was calm and crystal clear and it was great being on a rib alone in the ocean, the respect of nature and animals . We should really try it once in your life !

Something unique

An incredible and unforgettable experience, this was made possible by Nuno and Sofia, who were attentive at all times so that everything was okay. They allowed us to do up to 4 dives to see as many dolphins as possible. I recommend it 100%.
