Swim with Dolphins in the Azores

Make your way to a departure point in Ponte Delgado, then start your dolphin tour with a briefing on your itinerary, and on how to swim with the dolphins without disrupting their habitat.

Don a swim suit and shoes, then board the dolphin boat for the trip along the coast. With an experienced captain at the helm, the odds of seeing dolphins are great. When dolphins are spotted, climb into the water to swim near the pod, watching the sleek mammals move through the water.

If possible, the captain will loop the boat around so you can swim several times, climbing in the boat between each experience. At the end of your tour, return to shore, where this excursion concludes in Ponte Delgado.

Please note: The necessary equipment for this dolphin tour includes swimsuit, shoes that can get wet, a towel, and dry clothes to change into after the activity. It’s also a good idea to bring a sun hat, water, sunscreen, a waterproof bag for electronics, a windbreaker, lycra shirt, and Neoprene gloves.

In the Azores you have the opportunity to swim with dolphins in the open sea, in perfect symbiosis with their natural behaviour and with the environment around us. Prepare to be impressed by the deep blue sea, the curiosity of the dolphins and the crystalline waters that surround the island.
