Biologist-Guided Experience – Our tours are always accompanied by professional marine biologists who provide live commentary, species identification, and fascinating insights into whale behavior and marine conservation.
Land-Based Lookouts (Vigias) – We use traditional lookout points on land to spot whales and dolphins before the boats even leave the marina. This local method dramatically increases our chances of successful sightings.
Ethical Wildlife Observation – At Picos de Aventura, we prioritize respectful and non-invasive approaches to wildlife, ensuring that our encounters do not disturb the animals or their natural behaviors.
Scenic Azorean Backdrop – The dramatic coastline of São Miguel and the deep blue Atlantic create a stunning setting for your adventure.

Out for about 2 and 1/2 hours, saw dolphins and Fin Whales. Staff were attentive, friendly and informative. The animals were treated with respect so they got as close as they could safely- which was quite close. Turned quickly to give best views. Early May needed warm clothing and waterproofs to stop the spray soaking you. Great trip, would recommend.

We had a great time with Matilda the biologist. We were in the small inflatable speedboat with 20 to 30 people. The boat itself is not very comfortable as you have to straddle your legs over a bench seat. The ride is rough so not recommended for anyone with medical issues. However we had an awesome time. We had multiple sightings of Sperm Whales, Humpback Whales and bottle nose dolphins. The skipper and crew did a phenomenal job. I do recommend you use their raincoats as they will protect you from the rain and wind. For the most part despite our weather we stayed pretty dry. Thank you MATILDA for a wonderful time. We really enjoyed being with you.

Once in a lifetime! We were extremely lucky and saw a humpback whale from a very short distance. Great to have a marine biologist explaining everything too

We had a lovely trip. We saw tons of dolphins and shearwaters. Several species of dolphin were pushing the fish to the surface, and the shearwater birds were diving and getting the fish. Was really fun to watch the coordination between dolphin and sea birds. 🤩. The spotters did their best to look for whales. But the whales did not choose to appear today. Still a nice voyage. Totally worth it!
