Highly recommended - It couldn't have been better. Very friendly, professional staff who have the best interest of the animals in mind. High expertise inspired the customers - we were able to observe 3 sperm whales up close. It was fantastic, a highlight of our stay.

Great experience and knowledgeable guides - Had a great experience my first time whale watching! Some thoughts below: - We went 10/15 at 8:30AM - We saw dozens and dozens of common dolphins and 5-6 sperm whales - Our tour guide (her name escapes me but she was French) was wonderful! - If you get seasick, I'd skip this. You're going out in the open ocean - the water is rough - Orientation video on the ocean was interesting but dramatic, it left a lasting impression on us, so I'd say the goal was achieved - Wear wet weather clothing or take the wet jackets they offer. The weather changed numerous times, from cool and clear, to pelting rain, to scorching hot and sunny - 360 tour of the Ilhéu de Vila Franca do Campo island on the way back to shore was the cherry on top to a great morning whale watching - For those reading this next year thinking about an October trip, while we did see 5-6 sperm whales, the tour guides themselves were surprised and they said they had not seen any in almost a month

Dolphin watching - We could see many dolphins jumping, never had seen before. Unfortunately no whale was seen on that day.

A highly recommended experience - It is an experience that must be done, the organizers attend you very well with good explanations of everything, they try by all means to dress the animals but everything depends on whether the conditions are optimal, we did not see whales but if you dolphins, it was beautiful and the trip in the boat great we laughed a lot. We loved it very highly.
