unmissable - they told us that in August the probability of seeing animals was really high (95% of outings with sightings). It was like that. The tour with comfortable and fast speedboats lasted more than 3 hours during which we saw many sperm whales and countless dolphins (the dolphins swim and jump around the boat).

Bela Vista is a very nice... - Bela Vista is a very nice operator with a personal touch. The owner does create his own whale bone carvings and tells both before and after the tour about the wildlife we have seen.

one of the HAVE TOS of the Azores - Affordable price vs other excursions.
We were able to see sperm whales, dolphins and whales. A friendly welcome and clear explanations.

Awesome - superb sea excursion to observe dolphins and whales. There are about twenty of us per boat (zodiacs), well settled. We were able to really observe up close. In addition, they are very friendly. It was great. We loved it

Um mimo especial - The entire experience was fabulous. The staff is the most cordial and helpful ever! Bela Vista really goes out of their way to show appeciation for your business by offering drinks and cookies after the trip. It was a very safe experience for all kinds of travelers.

Wonderful whale watching experience!! - Had a wonderful time watching pilot whales and dolphins. Our guides we very knowledgable about these amazing animals. Safety was well taken care of. And our guides stayed a safe distance from the animals so as not to disturb them.

They lost our reservation and wouldn’t let us come on the boat - Horrible, horrible experience with Bella Vista. I called to make a reservation with Bella Vista for a Friday early AM whale watching tour, I called on Monday. The man on the phone said it was confirmed.
I drove 45 minutes on Friday thinking I had a spot on the boat, and when I got there they said they made a mistake. Turns out, he forgot to write it down. The owner is incredibly incompetent and just said sorry, I talk to lots of people- I forgot.
On top of that, they did nothing to help me secure another reservation. All the other boats were booked and I was SOL.
This isn’t a reputable company. Don’t book.
