Comment

Weather permitting, there is a good chance of seeing dolphins and whales, however, mother nature as it is, there are no guarantees of sightings. Our itinerary is deliberately left flexible to take best possible advantage of favourable weather conditions for the dolphin and whale watching trip. We regret that we are unable to offer refunds for any unused services.

Introduction

Bathed in the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, the archipelago of the Azores rise up from around the mid Atlantic ridge to form a string of volcanic isles full of natural wonders. Portuguese and Spanish galleons first used these islands as a safe haven from pirates on their journeys to and from the Americas. We will spend our time on two islands, Sao Miguel and Terceira. They offer wonderful opportunities for discovery on foot to appreciate these diverse volcanic landscapes, colourful flora and amazing geothermal areas. The Azores have a healthy population of dolphins and whales who have made the clear, blue, fish-rich waters around the Azores their home. We stay in the well-located Sao Miguel Park Hotel in Ponta Delgada and the four-star Hotel do Caracol on Terceira, both of which have indoor and outdoor pools.
