An amazing experience - The experience was amazing!! We were warned that cetaceans may not be seen, but we saw both dolphins and whales. Marc, Miguel and Natalia's deal was 10! We would repeat with no doubt.

Great adventure! - It was beautiful, we were able to take lots of pictures, we chose to take the speedboat and no regrets! They also offer kway, useful if like me you are a little chilly! We had the chance to see several species of cetaceans, it was great.

Very active whales! - AMAZING TOUR! We saw 5 highly active whales jumping out of the water, diving deep and smacking the water with their tails! Mark and... I forget his name (sorry) were amazing tour guides! Apparently it was the most active the whales were all year. This was a dream for my Fiancee and a surreal experience for both of us! I'm really late on this review as we went July 12th 2024. It was the day before we flew back to Canada and honestly, was the best way to end a trip. Oh! and we saw dolphins surrounded our boat! I will definetly do this tour again when I go back. Muito obrigado Picos de Aventura outre vez!

In the blue painted blue with whales of São Miguel - The most exciting and beautiful experience of my life! It was spectacular, breathtaking. We spotted two sperm whale cubs that interacted and played a lot with us and we also saw three different types of dolphins that literally swam alongside us. Thanks especially to our marine biologist Marc and our skipper Miguel who guided us on this exciting adventure in search of whales. They were super professional and extremely nice and kind and engaged us with their enthusiasm and passion. Beautiful sailing the waves of the Atlantic on board the catamaran, you become part of the infinity of the sea. I'd do it a thousand more times!

WONDER - A wonderful moment. We were able to observe dolphins but also sperm whales including a mother and her young. Group of 12 people only it was really great! Eventful outing so for those with back problems it is really not recommended at all.
