Join a fantastic and unique wildlife experience, swim with wild dolphins in the open ocean, and snorkel the Atlantic underwater scenario of the Azores Islands.
This boat tour will provide you a glimpse of the season’s coastal marine fauna and flora, along with the best connection to nature, in the heart of the Atlantic. After meeting your guide and group at the Marina of Vila Franca do Campo for check-in, equipment set up, and a short briefing introduction to local species, responsible practices on activity, onboard safety, and snorkeling equipment usage. You will then follow your guide on your designated boat and go out to sea. While approaching the cetaceans slowly, and very carefully, your guide will evaluate if the favorable conditions are met to allow the activity to proceed.
2 swimmers will alternate in the water during limited periods of time, so always be prepared to dive in, and don't miss the moment when dolphins eventually can come close. Before the end of the tour, the boat will travel to a coastal location for snorkeling, to discover the characteristic marine fauna and flora in the island’s sea bed.
