More lovely comments in today - thank you!
“Super holiday in every respect. We loved the scenery and geography and abundance of flowers. It was all so peaceful and dividing the holiday between three islands made it feel like three holidays. The people were friendly and welcoming. Food excellent but lacked vegetables. Often one meal was plenty for two people. A great trip right from planning to doing and remembering. thank you for your help throughout.”
Mr & Mrs Birkmyre (Sao Miguel, Faial & Flores – 12-26 June 2010)

“Just to thank everyone who made the trip so enjoyable – Jake, Ian and all the team in the Azores. Everyone seemed to do their best to be helpful and make the trip as enjoyable as possible for us. It is greatly appreciated and we will certainly sing your praises to everyone we know who wants to make the trip to such a beautiful place with so much natural flora and fauna to see and enjoy.”

“Both whale watching trips were amazing and the natural scenery was breathtaking – your brochure doesn’t really do it justice. After the whale watching our kids were grinning from ear to ear (as were we!). Overall, a very good vacation enjoyed by all of us. One which we will remember with happiness and will be hard to top! Well done and many thanks.”

Hello my friends,
Just to inform you that our new boat has finally arrived!Whale watching boat 1  Especially designed to provide safety, comfort and still a close contact to Nature, this new equipment will certainly update our fleet, providing our clients with an excellent experience discovering the Atlantic Ocean and – of course – the “amazing world of whales and dolphins”.
The new boat is 11 meters long, powered by 2 engines (4 stroke) of 250cv – the most energy efficient/environmentally friendly on the market – the boat layout provides 22 individual seats with 4 seats in the rear part, particularly designed for families with children or “older” people (next to the skipper).
The boat was build in Viana do Castelo, northern Portugal, by SEARIBS. It’s the result of a customised project bring together the skills of the boat’s factory and the specific needs of our whale watching operation giving birth to a high performance and extremely fun boat.

Hope you enjoy it.Whale watching boat 2
Best regards.

Miguel

“The holiday was very well organised, the people we dealt with exceptionally helpful and friendly and the activities were all fantastic experiences. I also felt that the companies providing the whale and dolphin watching were very conscious of the environment and guided the activity accordingly. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
