The activity begins with a short briefing about safety rules and the different species of cetaceans you can watch during the tour. Afterwards, we provide you with raincoats and life vests and you will be ready to embark on a 2 - 3 hour tour to see whales and dolphins. Using the technique of lookouts placed strategically on the South coast of the island, critically calculate where the best observation points are. Board a boat that departs to meet these unique animals and begin a trip which is a blend of fun, adventure, discovery and scientific knowledge. Water proof jackets and life jackets are included.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Whale and Dolphin Watching Tour at Terceira Island?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
