An Unforgettable Whale Watching Experience - Our time with Aqua Azores on Pico was truly exceptional. The team’s professionalism and passion for marine life were clear from the start. We were treated to stunning views of whales and dolphins, with insightful commentary from our guide, Vania, that made the experience even more engaging. The tour was well-organized, prioritizing safety and guest satisfaction, allowing us to fully enjoy the beauty of the ocean and its inhabitants. I highly recommend Aqua Azores to anyone visiting Pico. This was more than just a tour; it was a memorable journey that deepened our respect for the sea. Thank you to Vania and the Aqua Azores team for a fantastic day on the water!

Whithout disturbing there way of life we saw them very good aspirating and diving. Dolphins jumped more than 1m above sea level, we saw about hjndred dolphins that afternoon. Worth the money!

Magic moments - Awesome day. All good. Saw many animals. Children 4 and 7 years old. Safe and well planned. Good explanations from the guide. The captain was a really nice guy too. They do everything so you see as many dolphins and whales as possible to improve the experience. Thank you. Abraço da familia da ilha Terceira.

Cool trip, first time seeing these beautiful creatures - The weather was good, the ocean was still Saw 5 different species, dolphins were all around us. Even gave us a certificate with pictures of the species we saw during our trip. Very nice and polite people. The only drawback was the safety precautions, as the life vests were considered optional to wear while out in the ocean, and we were assured that they have them on board in case of an emergency, so no one actually had them on.

Fantastic trip, lots to see and fun! - We had a fantastic trip with this professional organization and nice people. We were lucky enough to spot a baby sperm whale and his mother breach 10 minutes into the trip. After that, we followed a bunch of sei whales for a while, we spotted a pilot whale, risso’s dolphins, and we saw groups of striped dolphins and spotted dolphins that were swimming around the boat - so much fun. The zodiac was fast and fun! Speeding over the water to reported whale sightings (there are spotters on land apparently) was adventurous and bumpy and a great laugh. We loved every minute of this trip

Great experience, but safety concerns - The whale watching was great. The guide was well informed and gave us a lot of knowledge in the pre-trip briefing. We were able to see sperm whales, dolphins, a turtle, and lots of birds. The only reason I am not giving a higher score is that there was no safety equipment provided. You are in a zodiac boat and travelling at a decent speed throughout the day. There were other tour boats around and all their passengers were given life vests. This company did not provide them to the guests.
