Description

Your experience begins with a briefing, where you will receive all the necessary guidance on how to interact with dolphins and how to behave at sea in order to make the most of this experience.

The group will then head out on a short trip to meet these friendly animals, previously located by our lookout team.

When it’s time for the interaction, the entire process is carefully managed to ensure the animals are comfortable and willing to share their environment with us. This will be an experience in their natural habitat and will surely become one of the best memories of your visit to the Azores.

The return to shore is done at a relaxed pace, allowing you to fully enjoy the beautiful coastal landscapes of our island.
