Great excursion, whales or no. - 3 hour excursion was delightful. We saw three different species of dolphin up close for long periods of time; no whales today, but that's mother nature. I liked that the boat was small - 12 passengers in 6 rows, so everyone had a great view at all times (some competitors' boats had seating of 4-5 across). The seas were not particularly rough, so the experience might have been a little different with bigger swells. The seats straddled a partition and had grab bars, so I always felt safe even when standing up to see across to the opposite side, although for those with limited leg flexibility they might be a little challenging to get in and out of. Potential sightings are reported by a spotter on the top of Monte Brasil so that the boat can be directed over a large sighting area. Our guide Victor presented a lot of useful information both during sightings and also during lulls, about dolphin and whale biology, migration, and also seabirds. It was definitely worth the price of admission even without catching a whale.

Magical experience - An experience beyond extraordinary... The guide (Vitor) and the commander were of a kindness and endless attention, a lot of explanation, a lot of calm and patience with all passengers. We were able to spot common and rough dolphins, pilot whales and fake orcas feeding themselves. I definitely recommend this extraordinary team our family loved (2 children 7 and 5 years old)

Awesome whale and dolphin experience! - Awesome experience! It was a small group and the guide and navigators were wonderful! We saw 2 sets of mother and calf as well as a lone female. Lots of dolphins were all around us. A perfect day!

Great Tour! - This was a wonderful tour with an amazing tour guide, Victor! He was very knowledgeable, engaging and had a sense of humor. Our boat Captain was able to navigate the waters with ease and quickly got us to different parts of the ocean on a timely manner upon receiving updates from the Spotter on Mount Brazil. We got to see 4 different dolphin species (Common Dolphin, Spotted Atlantic, Bottleneck and Risso's). The boat also only had 12 seats, making the tour intimate and more enjoyable compared to other boat tours. Definitely book Water4Fun! :)

Dolphin and whale watching, do not hesitate!! - The excursion to see whales and dolphins has been perfect. We have seen 3 types of dolphins and a whale. The Guide has been super friendly and attentive, always worrying why we all had good visibility. It is a smaller boat than in other companies, without crowds and with good visibility for all. We are a family with two girls (aged 5 and 7) and we all enjoyed it!

Almost missed tour because Viator screwed up - The trip was good, but this was another screwup by Viator. We were staying in Praia da Vitoria, but this tour went from Agra without any pickup. So I called Viator to see what I could arrange to get there from our hotel. The Viator rep transferred me to a site that only booked airport transfers, so that was useless. So I figured we would just take a taxi. It turned out, the address you published was insufficient for the taxi driver to figure out where to take us, so we almost missed the activity. All you need to do is to say go to the marina and look for their kiosk, but it doesn't say that. It just says Angra da Heroismo, the town, with a number I thought would be a street number but is probably a postal code.
