Half-Day Whale and Dolphin Watching Tour in Ponta Delgada

Board an open boat for a trip along the coast, which will vary in duration a bit depending on the location of the wildlife.

Keep your camera ready, because there’s a lot to see, with more than 20 different cetaceans appearing in the waters off the Azores.
