Highlights
-
Rua Conselheiro Dr. José Pereira 1 - After the safety briefing, we’ll discuss the various species that utilize the Azores, including resident, migratory, and occasional animals, before heading out to sea. We work with wild animals, which means we do not control, feed, train, or tag any of them. We search for any group or individual whale or dolphin passing nearby, but there’s a chance we might not encounter any cetaceans. If that happens, our crew will provide a solution, so don’t worry too much :D.
Before and during our tour, we have a lookout stationed with powerful binoculars in a high place, scouting for any signs of wildlife. Our chances of success are quite good!
When we find something in the ocean, we will approach to observe and collect data. Our crew consists of marine biologists who are curious about everything in the ocean, so feel free to ask as many questions as you like. There are no dumb questions!!!
Upon returning to Velas, we will do a post-tour recap, answering all questions and providing information about the experience we just had.
See you soon!

Additional Information
We are a team of two young biologists. Miguel is from São Jorge Island and Rita is from Alentejo. Both of us love being out on the ocean and our goal is to make a living from these tours and writing scientific papers. We appreciate you booking with us, and we can repay you by taking you into the wonders of the Ocean i grew up to and fell in love with! Seeing wild whales and dolphins really makes us so happy that we promise you will be as excited before stepping foot aboard. Also, we are recently doing this tour mostly in uncharted territory, meaning that no other boats will be around us for most part of our trips!
