From EUR 150Swim with Wild Dolphins in the Azores
With Picos de Aventura, you’ll go beyond the typical wildlife tour: this is a carefully guided, respectful interaction led by marine biologists who are deeply passionate about ocean conservation. What sets this tour apart you ask? - Wild, not captive: You’ll be swimming with dolphins in their natural environment, where they are free to choose whether to interact. This makes every encounter meaningful and authentic. - Biologist-led experience: Our tours are led by expert marine biologists with in-depth knowledge about dolphin behavior, species conservation, and the marine ecosystem of the Azores. - Small group, low-impact: We limit the number of swimmers to ensure a calm, non-intrusive presence in the water—making the experience safer, more personal, and more respectful toward the animals. This is not a theme park show—it’s a moment of silent connection in the open ocean. A unique chance to witness the grace of wild dolphins up close, guided by those who know and protect them best.
From EUR 125Whale Watching Tour + Vila Franca Islet: Full-day with lunch
This tour combines two of São Miguel’s most iconic experiences in one seamless day: ethical whale watching guided by marine biologists and a visit to the stunning, volcanic Vila Franca Islet. Few tours offer this mix of ocean wildlife and time to swim or relax inside a volcanic crater lagoon. You'll be guided by knowledgeable staff throughout, enjoy a tasty lunch, and explore a protected nature reserve that’s only accessible by boat. It's the perfect balance of adventure, learning, and relaxation—all in one unforgettable day by sea and land! Highlights: - Whale and dolphin watching tour with marine biologists - Learn about marine species and conservation during the briefing - Cruise the Atlantic in search of whales, dolphins, and more - Visit Vila Franca Islet, a protected volcanic crater island - Swim or snorkel in the islet’s natural lagoon (seasonal access)
