Whale Watching - Half Day • BEST SELLER

Spectacular Whale Watching


Duration

~2.5 Hours


About

A day dedicated to the sea and its wonders, where you'll be able to observe the wild life that abounds in the outskirts of the azorean shores. This tour takes about 2.5 hours, starting the first tour at 09:00am and ending around 11:30pm and the second tour at 14:30pm and ending at 17:00pm, with a 3 hour break for lunch, leisure and relaxation. We recommend going to the beach or natural pools, they're beautiful!

Highlights

At Mosteiros we are privileged by our location, at the west part of the island we find refuge, relaxation, peace from all the noise from traffic and city lights, as do the whales, turtles, dolphins and fish we find out here. There are more than 25 cetacean species that you can observe out here. The Azorean whale's migration route is a good indicator that you'll surely see whales around here, but we believe that there are some resident specimens around the area, especially sperm whales, throughout the whole year. It's truly life abundant. You will also have the chance to pass by the iconic islets of Mosteiros and glance the amazing coastline that this bay has.

What You Can Expect

At our base, you will be given a life jacket, a waterproof light jacket and a briefing by our professional guide about what you can expect to see and about our safety procedures. After that we'll head out to the port (1 minute by foot) and into the boat, then we will head out to the positions given by our whale spotter at land. Each tour will last more or less 3 hours and then we'll head back to our office where and share with you some additional info about the animals that we saw on the trip. Please remember that the animals are in their home, wandering in the great Atlantic ocean and because of that the sighting of cetacean is not guaranteed.


What to Bring

Bring water, light food, warm clothes and a camera. We can also share our pictures with you!
