Highlights
  • Cais d’Angra - Cetaceans in the Azores

The Azores are a true oasis when it comes to cetacean observation, being possible to see around 28 different species throughout the year, this represents 1/3 of the world’s known cetacean species.

Our team is prepared to make it possible to observe these magnificent mammals, with the help of a “Watchman” (a member of our team located on land), located in a high area, where, through long-range binoculars and radio guidance, vessels about the whereabouts of cetaceans.

This way we are able to maintain a cetacean sighting rate of over 90%.

Sighting Guarantee

When observing cetaceans, it is difficult to predict what behavior and species will be possible to see.

In this way, water4fun can only guarantee the sighting of at least one specimen of the cetacean order, and it is not possible to predict which or even the family (whales, dolphins, among others).

If no specimen of the cetacean order is seen, the customer has the right to reschedule a second attempt, subject to company availability, completely free of charge, or as a last resort, request a full refund.

Just breathtaking - It was breathtaking! We saw 2 species of whales and 2 species of dolphins and some of the dolphins came right up to the boat. Our tour guide was super nice and explained a lot. Questions that were asked in Portuguese were always explained in English afterwards. We had originally booked our tour a day earlier, but it was postponed to the next day due to the rough seas. This was no problem for us.

Enjoyable - professional guide and driver - Unfortunately we didn’t see any whales but did see two species of dolphins. The guide Victor was very knowledgeable and helped make it a good experience. The boat driver was very competent and navigated the waves with ease. I’d recommend this tour.

Great crew! - Beautiful morning out at sea with our guide Vitor, who was very knowledgeable about the sea animals we observed and very friendly, taking the time to chat along the way to the passengers. He and the boat´s captain were especially kind and compassionate with my daughter, who was very seasick during the trip. They did their best to help her feel as comfortable as possible and joked with her to try to keep her spirits up and make light of the circumstances. A big thank you to them both! We saw lots of dolphins, a sea turtle, Portuguese man-of-war jellyfish, and sea birds.

Thrill of a Lifetime - Outstanding! Between our guide, the photographer, the captain and the whale spotter up on Mount Brazil, this amazing team provided us with the thrill of a lifetime to be able to see these 2 blue whales and many dolphins. These photos of "our" blues were taken and generously sent to us for free by the photographer, allowing us to keep our phones in our pockets and live in the moment to see the magnificent animals with our own eyes. Many thanks to the Water4Fun team.

Whale watching - Excellent experience. We joint the trip with our 2 kids (8 and 6). There was a good explanation of what to see and they focused also on the kids to make it a good experience for the as well. They took us a long way and we managed to see whales and several dolphin species. At the end there was a debriefing to show the exact species we spotted on a map. They were very enthusiastic and friendly.

Worth visiting - Worth visiting and spending 3h out on the ocean with great guides...spotted orcas and different types of dolphins. Safety of the trip is at standard level, and hospitality of the organisors as well. Dolphins prepared a quite show for us.

We saw a blue whale due to the teamwork at water 4 fun!! Incredible - The entire experience was spectacular. The staff is not only very friendly and helpful, they know what they do and make us feel like members of the group, I really appreciated the way they treated us. In terms of equipment, everything was impeccable, highlighting the work of the spotter who was incredible in assessing where the blue whales were!!! We were always at the forefront of that exit due to the fantastic teamwork they had! Many congratulations and I highly recommend it!
