9 islands that enchant the world

  • Corvo
  • Faial
  • Flores
  • Graciosa
  • Pico
  • Santa Maria
  • São Jorge
  • São Miguel
  • Terceira

A depth of detail in the shape of an island.

A depth of detail in the shape of an island: this rock covered in velvet vegetation, where a nest of spotted houses shelters from solitude.

The lagoons surrounded by bog and small islets are a paradise for bird watching and for their rest from their long journey across the ocean. As it is easy to get around the island, there are boat circuits, scuba diving in the small beach, walking or biking amidst streets where the ecomuseum is alive, where women smile at you from their doorsteps, and old folks tell curious stories…

CapacityCapacity: 5.000 persons per night
Best Season IconBest Season to whale watching: Spring, about may or june

Azorean vibes and volcanic beauty

This pristine island is that destination that reeks of Azorean vibes and spirits. Here, everything is possible: even to swim with blue sharks in the Condor seamount!

The main character in its own story, its beauty revolves around the central volcano, Capelinhos. Enjoy the exuberant vegetation and sceneries capable of taking your breath away.

Water springs staircases to heaven

The westernmost point in Europe where the sunset comes last in deep, passionate, and rich colors.

There is magic about this island, stories of sailors and pirates seeking a safe port, or water springs staircases to heaven launching at your feet as you explore nature.

Nature's picturesque canvas of serenity

The island resembles a canvas sprinkled with the white of houses, red of the mills’ domes amongst the green vegetation, and the ocean blue.

The sweet-smelling aroma of the ocean hangs in the air roaming through nature, as simplicity and quietude will follow you anywhere around this astonishing island.

Where the mountain kisses the moon.

A paradise island where its mountain kisses the moon and embraces the morning fog, this sky throne is the ultimate adventure for you.

This island of adventure is a destination of choice for nature lovers and challenge seekers. Pico has it all and will fulfill everyone’s most crazy dreams for great holidays, whether you are a family, a couple, or a solo traveler.

Timeless wonder: Lagoons, cliffs, and forests.

This is a place where you can breathe the pure salty air of unique black-sand beaches with magnificent waves calling you for an unforgettable surf session.​

We were lucky enough to go on a catamaran trip to see dolphins around São Miguel, and we loved it. Seeing these magnificent animals in their natural environment was truly exceptional. The crew was very friendly, professional, and attentive, providing plenty of information throughout the excursion. We particularly appreciated their respectful approach to the animals and the fact that the experience was primarily about discovering marine wildlife. The catamaran was very comfortable, and we were also able to fully enjoy the scenery and the beauty of the ocean. We were accompanied by our 6-month-old baby, and everything went very smoothly. The crew was attentive, and we felt comfortable throughout the entire trip. We 100% recommend this activity if you're visiting São Miguel! A wonderful way to discover the island from a different perspective and leave with incredible memories. (Original) Une expérience absolument magique et inoubliable ! Nous avons eu la chance de partir en catamaran à la découverte des dauphins autour de São Miguel et nous avons adoré cette sortie. Voir ces magnifiques animaux évoluer dans leur environnement naturel était un moment vraiment exceptionnel. L’équipage était très sympathique, professionnel et à l’écoute, avec de nombreuses explications tout au long de l’excursion. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l’approche respectueuse des animaux et le fait que l’expérience reste avant tout une découverte de la faune marine. Le catamaran était très agréable et nous avons également pu profiter pleinement des paysages et de la beauté de l’océan. Nous étions accompagnés de notre bébé de 6 mois et tout s’est très bien passé. L’équipage a été attentionné et nous nous sommes sentis à l’aise pendant toute la sortie. Une activité que nous recommandons à 100 % si vous êtes de passage à São Miguel ! Une très belle façon de découvrir l’île autrement et de repartir avec des souvenirs incroyables. Read more

That wasn’t due to the company or staff. It was just what happened. I recommend them. Read more

We had the opportunity to see Atlantic spotted dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and sperm whales, which I was really looking forward to seeing. During the observations, they always kept their distance and respected the animals' space. The whole trip was very pleasant, and with a lot of adrenaline mixed in, due to the speed of the boat. But always safely, thanks to the Futurismo team, Catarina, Fernando, and Ana, who were always very helpful in assisting with whatever was needed and clarifying all doubts. The experience of traveling to the north of the island ends up being even better because we were practically "alone" at sea, without having to share with other boats. In addition, it was easy and safe to park the car at the meeting point and there is access to the restroom. (Original) Foi uma experiência incrível! Tivemos a oportunidade de ver golfinhos-pintados-do-atlântico, golfinho-roaz e os cachalotes, que tinha muita expectativa em ver. Durante as observações, mantiveram sempre a distância e respeitaram o espaço dos animais. Toda a viagem foi muito agradável, e com muita adrenalina à mistura, devido à velocidade do barco. Mas sempre em segurança, graças à equipa da Futurismo, a Catarina, o Fernando e a Ana, sempre muito prestável em auxiliar no que fosse preciso e em esclarecer todas as dúvidas. A experiência de viagem ao norte da ilha acaba por ser ainda melhor porque praticamente estivemos "sozinhos" no mar, sem ter de partilhar com outras embarcações. Além disso foi tranquilo e seguro estacionar o carro no local de ponto de encontro e tem acesso ao wc. Read more

We booked two tours in total – one on São Miguel and one on Pico. Unfortunately, the tour on Pico was canceled because the whale spotters didn't see any whales. This wasn't a problem for us at all, as that's just how nature works. We especially appreciated the ease with which we could rebook the tour. We could have also received a full refund. Futurismo is a member of the World Cetacean Alliance (WCA) and is therefore actively committed to the protection of marine mammals. This is evident during the tour: great care is taken to maintain a safe distance from the animals and avoid disturbing them. Overall, we felt that the entire team is incredibly dedicated and genuinely passionate about the ocean and its inhabitants. This dedication made our tours a truly special experience. We would book with Futurismo again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them! (Original) Wir waren mit Futurismo wirklich super zufrieden! Wir haben insgesamt zwei Touren gebucht – eine auf São Miguel und eine auf Pico. Die Tour auf Pico wurde leider abgesagt, da die Spotter keine Wale gesichtet haben. Für uns war das überhaupt kein Problem, denn so ist die Natur nun einmal. Besonders positiv fanden wir, dass wir die Tour unkompliziert umbuchen konnten. Alternativ hätten wir auch unser Geld zurückbekommen. Futurismo gehört zur World Cetacean Alliance (WCA) und setzt sich damit aktiv für den Schutz der Meeressäuger ein. Das merkt man auch während der Tour: Es wird sehr darauf geachtet, ausreichend Abstand zu den Tieren zu halten und sie nicht zu stören. Überhaupt hatten wir das Gefühl, dass das gesamte Team mit viel Herzblut dabei ist und eine echte Leidenschaft für das Meer und die dort lebenden Tiere hat. Genau diese Einstellung hat unsere Touren zu einem besonderen Erlebnis gemacht. Wir würden Futurismo jederzeit wieder buchen und können den Anbieter absolut weiterempfehlen! Read more

Intense in knowledge transmission. They excel in animal tracking with non-intrusive methods. I had an amazing, unexpected experience. Wonderful. They teach the importance of caring for and respecting our seas and oceans, which is crucial.

Alba Moreno Ruiz, Spain

Exciting excursion, friendly and knowledgeable staff, not too crowded catamaran. We saw two different species of dolphins and a sperm whale with its calf. Thanks for the wonderful experience!

Donatella Fracassi, Italy

A magical moment! We were able to easily see and interact with the dolphins. There was only our boat with 8 swimmers in total, making it even more enjoyable – a special time with the dolphins. Very clear explanations and a guide who listened and was very pleasant. We will be back 👍

Manuel Fernandez, France

During our vacation, we enjoyed both stand-up paddle and kayaking, resulting in an unforgettable experience. The staff were all incredibly friendly. They recommended restaurants after the activity with a personal touch. 100% recommended.

Andrea Jaramillo Lopez, Spain

An outstanding experience. The marine biologist and the driver were both incredibly passionate. We saw 2 dolphins and 2 sperm whales that dived. An unforgettable memory under perfect weather. Thank you for all these unforgettable moments.

Magali Loriot, France

It’s impressive that we haven’t found anybody during our walking tour. It was amazing the communion with nature. It feels that nature is still untouched.

Sievers, Poland
