Highlights
  • Cais d’Angra - Cetaceans in the Azores

The Azores are a true oasis when it comes to cetacean observation, being possible to see around 28 different species throughout the year, this represents 1/3 of the world’s known cetacean species.

Our team is prepared to make it possible to observe these magnificent mammals, with the help of a “Watchman” (a member of our team located on land), located in a high area, where, through long-range binoculars and radio guidance, vessels about the whereabouts of cetaceans.

This way we are able to maintain a cetacean sighting rate of over 90%.

Sighting Guarantee

When observing cetaceans, it is difficult to predict what behavior and species will be possible to see.

In this way, water4fun can only guarantee the sighting of at least one specimen of the cetacean order, and it is not possible to predict which or even the family (whales, dolphins, among others).

If no specimen of the cetacean order is seen, the customer has the right to reschedule a second attempt, subject to company availability, completely free of charge, or as a last resort, request a full refund.

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!

Memorable - Great experience! The trip in the semi rigid boat itself was spectacular, but the observation of 2 different species of dolphins and 3 different species of whales was the peak of the visit! The staff who accompanied and guided us during the visit was extraordinary! Thank you very much for the experience!

Fun nature watching tour - Fantastic whale and dolphin watching tour. What you see is always up to chance, we got lucky and saw 4-5 sperm whales and 3 species of dolphins. The boat size was one of the best parts because with only 2 seats in each row, you could see the marine life on both sides of the boat.

Exciting tour with many whale and dolphin sightings! - Whales and dolphins as promised! We had almost ideal weather for our morning tour and it was spectacular! A little challenging to find the whales at first, but patience paid off and we saw several sperm whales, including a mother and very young baby! Then we went to seek out dolphins and saw three species: Risso's, Atlantic Spotted, and Common. Large pods of the latter types right next to the boat! Exciting and beautiful to see! Guide also very informative and respectful of the animals.

Best by the Sun of the Azores - Unique experience seeing dolphins at sunset. We can also see the islands of São Jorge and Pico. Very nice conversation, staying more time from the ePerado, since the dolphins continue on our side. Very recommended!
