Join a fantastic and unique Wildlife Experience! Swim with wild Dolphins in the open Ocean, and to snorkel the atlantic underwater scenario of the Azores Islands!

This 2:30 hour boat tour provides a glimpse to the season’s coastal marine fauna and flora, along with the best connection to Nature, in the heart of the Atlantic.

You will meet us at the Marina of Vila Franca do Campo for check-in and personal gear setup, at the specified time.

The journey will start with a short briefing introducing you to local species, their natural habitat, migration and behavioral patterns, responsible practice on activity, onboard safety, and snorkeling equipment usage.

Everyone will follow the Guide and Skipper to board their designated boat, and go out to sea. Our lookout high inland will then locate our friends, and provide directions via VHF Radio to where the boat will travel - initially at high speed, so hold on and enjoy the ride!

While approaching our friends slowly, and very carefully, your Guide will evaluate if favorable conditions are met to allow the activity proceeding.

You must be always be prepared to go into the water! 2 swimmers will be assisted to alternate into the water for swimming during limited periods of time - and in a wild, totally free environment, you do not want to miss any opportunity in which Dolphins can eventually come close by their friendliness and curiosity.

On the second part of the tour, the boat will travel to a coastal location for snorkeling, and to discover the characteristic marine fauna & flora in the island’s sea bottom.

Your Guide will always be available to assist you, to inform you, and to ensure the tour’s environmental and conservation standards - please feel free to ask anything.
