3-hour São Miguel whale-watching cruise led by marine biologists, guided by coastal lookouts, safe distances, and coastal geology.
“A marvellous experience. At 60+ and in reasonably good health, the zodiac boat was a great choice for our cruise; it was fun and adventurous. Our guide was so knowledgeable and incredibly respectful of the animals we were out to spot. From the first group of a hundred-plus spotted dolphins riding along the waves with our boat for quite some time, to seeing the sei whales, and the seemingly choreographed acrobatics of the striped dolphins, we felt privileged to have such an experience. Pure joy!”
