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.

Golden shores and hidden treasures

Esta ilha dourada se estende sob o sol, com águas cristalinas e praias de açúcar branco que adicionam uma aura serena ao cenário pitoresco.

Com um rico património e inúmeras atrações, se procura sossego, privacidade e aventura, este é o local perfeito para desfrutar de momentos descontraídos.

A feast for the senses.

This picture-perfect balcony of the triangle islands scores top points for its dramatic volcano cliffs. It will leave an unforgettable first impression.

A feast for the senses from its famous cheese production and empire of juicy clams, to wild surf adventures and bodyboard. Looking like a green dragon emerging from the Atlantic Ocean, everything about São Jorge island is truly beautiful: from its range of mountains and its welcoming people to its delicious cheese and wonderful costal pools.

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.​

Discover nature as you have never seen it, between wild volcanoes, breathtaking views, the deep blue ocean and magical forests with endemic fauna and flora.

We have already been whale watching in South Africa and New Zealand, but nowhere have we seen as many whales and dolphins as here, even more than in the north of Iceland, which is really known for its whales. You can also see that they approach the animals with respect; we as humans are guests in their territory. And Lynn is so infectiously enthusiastic 🙂 She knows so much to tell about any animal. So, highly recommended!!! (Original) Het was een top middag! We hadden geluk met t weer en een kalme zee. We zijn al wezen 'whale watchen' in Zuid Afrika en Nieuw Zeeland maar nergens zoveel walvissen en dolfijnen gezien als hier, zelfs ook meer dan in t noorden van IJsland, wat echt bekend staat om z'n Whales. Je ziet ook dat ze de dieren met respect benaderen, wij als mensen zijn te gast in hun territorium. En Lynn is zo aanstekelijk enthousiast:-) Ze weet veel te vertellen over welk dier dan ook. Aanrader dus!!! Read more

All the staff are very friendly, professional and have a lot of knowledge, which they share throughout the excursion and allow you to understand and respect the animals and the marine environment much more. We were very lucky and were able to see several very large groups of common and bottlenose dolphins, and also two sperm whales! It was a treat to be able to observe them in the wild. We especially liked seeing that it is a company that is very respectful of the environment and the animals, and that prioritizes their well-being. The day was gray, but the temperature was very pleasant and we really enjoyed the trip. A highly recommended experience if you visit São Miguel! (Original) Una experiència fantàstica amb Futurismo! Ens ha agradat molt. Tot el personal és molt amable, professional i amb molts coneixements, que van compartint durant tota l’excursió i que et permeten entendre i respectar molt més els animals i el medi marí. Vam tenir molta sort i vam poder veure diversos grups molt nombrosos de dofins comuns i roquals, i també dos catxalots! Una passada poder observar-los en llibertat.

We saw many dolphins and two sperm whales. The waiting did take a long time, though. We departed 45 minutes later than planned. It was unclear at times. The crew shouts all sorts of things. For example, they could indicate things better in a different way than just shouting occasionally. Otherwise, we really enjoyed it!!! Oh, by the way, if you suffer from even the slightest bit of seasickness, I would think twice about whether or not to go. Out of the (approximately) 50 people, I saw 4 people who were really sick. (Original) Het was een hele goede trip. De vele bemanning was erg hulpvaardig. Ze weten goed waar ze naartoe moeten varen om de beesten te spotten. Wij hebben veel dolfijnen gezien en twee potvissen. Het wachten duurde wel lang. Wij vertrokken 45 min later dan gepland. Het was af en toe onduidelijk. Er wordt het een en het ander geschreeuwd door de bemanning. Ze zouden het bijvoorbeeld beter aan kunnen geven op een andere manier dan dat er af en toe geschreeuwd wordt. Verder erg genoten!!! Oja, als je maar een klein beetje last hebt van zeeziekte zou ik er nog over na denken of je wel of niet mee gaat. Van de (ongeveer) 50 mensen heb ik 4 mensen gezien die echt ziek waren. Read more

The tour itself is also dedicated to protecting the animals. The whales pass by here on their way to waters with more food or for other reasons. Dolphins do the same. And they want to disturb that as little as possible. They give a 100% guarantee. And that is true. Not even 10 minutes at sea and we are lying diagonally behind the first Sperm Whale. We receive an explanation about the animal, what it is doing, and much more. And suddenly, it dives underwater again. Beautiful! (Original) Het mooie is dat dit bedrijf onder andere bijhoudt welke en hoeveel walvissen passeren. Ook de tour zelf staat in het teken van bescherming van de dieren. De walvissen passeren hier op weg naar water met meer voedsel of om andere reden. Dolfijnen net zo. En dat willen ze min mogelijk verstoren. 100% garantie geven ze. En dat klopt. Nog geen 10 min op zee of we liggen schuin achter de 1e Sperm Whale of Potvis in het Nederlands. We krijgen uitleg over het dier, wat het nu doet en veel meer. En plotseling duikt ie weer onder. Prachtig! Read more

The briefing beforehand was clear and interesting. During the trip, the marine biologist shared a wealth of fascinating knowledge, but fortunately, there was also room for silence to fully enjoy nature and the moment. That balance was truly perfect. From the catamaran, we saw two different species of dolphins and a whale, which made the experience unforgettable. The crew clearly had a lot of respect for the animals and worked very carefully. A wonderful experience that we can recommend to everyone! 🐬🐋🌊 (Original) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Een absolute aanrader! We spraken af aan het kantoor van Futurismo, vlak aan de haven. We werden er heel vriendelijk ontvangen door een behulpzaam en professioneel team. De briefing vooraf was duidelijk en interessant. Tijdens de tocht deelde de mariene bioloog ontzettend veel boeiende kennis, maar er was gelukkig ook ruimte voor stilte om volop van de natuur en het moment te genieten. Die balans was echt perfect. Vanaf de catamaran zagen we twee verschillende soorten dolfijnen én een walvis, wat de ervaring onvergetelijk maakte. De bemanning had duidelijk veel respect voor de dieren en ging heel zorgvuldig te werk. Een prachtige ervaring die we iedereen kunnen aanbevelen! 🐬🐋🌊 Read more

We had a 3.5-hour trip with lots of explanations, saw a sperm whale twice, and sailed right in the middle of a group of 400 dolphins. What a truly special experience! Thank you! (Original) Wat een geweldige ervaring en wat een fijne boot en crew. Het was heel gemoedelijk en met veel respect voor het dier. We hebben een 3,5 tocht gehad met veel uitleg en tot twee keer toe een potvis gezien en vaarde midden in een groep van 400 dolfijnen. Wat een belevenis met een gouden randje! Bedankt! 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.
