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!

even if I was by myself and it was Sunday morning, I was able to visit a really nice cave in Pico. the guide was amazing, had so many stories, a great great guy. 100% recommend. his passion for his island, Pico, is almost a religion. exceptional!

The trip was great. The staff was really nice, pro active, always there to answer our questions. The organisation was very clear about the fact that they did not promise that we would see whales, but that we would see some sort of sea mammals - or our money back. In a way this was sort of exhilarating to know that sea mammals are still free to wander wherever they want and we can be fortunate enough to see them. We saw dolphins and turtles, a flying fish and everything was great. Warning: wear sunscreen :) (you will get a sunburn for sure)

This was beyond our expectations The company was friendly efficient and professional We had the best experience

The Guide is fabulous! We got to see all 3 types of Dolphins and that was fabulous. Highly recommend this.

Honestly it was pretty boring and uncomfortable. First the positives: the water was truly stunning - crystal clear and deep blue. And of course the whales and dolphins. The negatives: everything else. Two hours of full speed boating - 1 hour out and 1 our back with probably about 30 minutes of time to enjoy the whales and dolphins. The day we went out the waves were just brutal so the 2 hours of full speed boating was not even remotely enjoyable. The boat was crowded and uncomfortable seating. In fact, there was no seating for the 3 of us together up top or the front stadium seating so we ended up sitting in the back near the engineer by ourselves. It was so loud and we had the smell of non stop fuel fumes from the engine. However, that ended up being a park when numerous people upstairs started throwing up. They do not sell any food or drinks so come prepared.

it was great. dolphins, spermwhale, a family of orchas, turtles. out there in the ocean there's a lot of life and Picos de aventura biologists very prepared and enthusiastic. i suggest to everyone going in azzore, to take time for a trip with them

it was good experience in June, we have met to a lot of Dolphins and with 2 whales, meeting with whales was from so big distance and it was almost impossible to see them, in general experience was good but I expected more.

Amazing Experience searching for whale and dolphins! Very good organization and team of Pico de Aventura, very fast reply by mail and assistance

We went with no expectations, but we were surprised... it was inspiring and emotional experience. It was wonderful!

It was an absolutely amazing experience. I admired the excellent and professional approach of the crew and it´s respectfull and loving attitude to animals. We saw more than we expected - dolphins, whale, turtle, flying fishes. I would choose Picos de Aventura again anytime.

All went well, really nice and lovely team, we have seen Whales and Dolphins, team explained and followed up on all Q

We had a great experience on our dolphin and whale watching tour with our two kids (4 and 7 years old). The team was very prepared and extremely professional in how the prepared us for the trip and handled us on the boat. The trip is nice, the situation of being in open waters in the middle of the Atlantic should not be underestimated. If you do not suffer from excessive sea sickness definitely worth it!

This hike to the lake offers stunning views and is a truly beautiful experience. The trail is moderately difficult, with some steep sections at the beginning, so proper hiking shoes are essential. I'd also recommend bringing a raincoat, just in case (we needed it). Our guide was friendly, and we were provided a lunch snack. However, I would have appreciated more time at the lake, as we felt rushed throughout the visit. One downside was that the tour started nearly 50 minutes late due to a delayed van, which was frustrating.

Seas where a little choppy and did not see whales but did see dolphins. Crew was very nice and helpful. A little disappointed
