“Everything worked seamlessly and the quality of the accomodation, transfers, car hire etc. was excellent. The Azores were beautiful and we may up sticks to Flores to start a self sufficient life! Many thanks.”
Mr & Mrs Dearden (25 Jul – 08 Aug 09)
Sao Miguel, Pico & Flores

“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!  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.
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.

Whales and dolphins in 2008

Sperm whale breaching

People are always asking us when is the best time to see whales and dolphins in the Azores and what species they are likely to see. We have had a list of species spotted during 2008 from one of our operators in Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel.

 So below are their sightings for last year. Hope it’s useful!
