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.

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.​

They obviously care about animal welfare and try to avoid crowding and harassing the animals when there's multiple boats (from other companies) around. This is what whale touring should be like for everyone. Extra kudos for picking up ocean trash along the way. Read more

We had a great day out, thanks to this company’s help and efficiency. They had the kayaks waiting for us on the pier.

There's a really good briefing beforehand, which prevents any anthropomorphizing of the whales. We actually saw sperm whales and several dolphin species. It was truly amazing! Unfortunately, my trip ended early due to severe seasickness. I was really well taken care of and nursed back to health. A truly wonderful and incredibly kind team! Highly recommended ❤️ (Original) Hier wird sehr verantwortungsvoll mit den Walen umgegangen! Es gibt vorab ein ziemlich gutes Briefing, welches der Vermenschlichung der Wale entgegenwirkt. Wir haben tatsächlich Pottwale und mehrere Delfinarten gesehen. Das war wirklich toll! Leider endete es für mich frühzeitig wegen maximalster Seekrankheit. Um mich wurde sich echt gut gekümmert und ich wurde wieder aufgepäppelt. Echt tolles und super liebes Team! Klare Empfehlung ❤️ Read more

Our guides were incredibly friendly, even though they spoke English. If you know a little, you could understand them perfectly. Even so, as soon as they realized we were Spanish, they came over to ask if everything was alright and if we had understood everything. First we saw dolphins, and then we managed to see a sperm whale and a blue whale, which was the first one seen that year, so we spent a long time watching it surface. (Original) Una experiencia totalmente recomendable! Nuestras guías fueron super simpáticas, aunque hablaban en inglés, pero si sabes un poco se las entendía perfectamente, aun así en cuanto supo que éramos españoles se acercaba a preguntarnos si estaba todo bien y si lo habíamos entendido todo. Primero vimos delfines y después conseguimos ver un cachalote y una ballena azul, que era la primera en este año que se veía, por lo que nos quedamos mucho tiempo observando cómo salía a la superficie.

We went on the afternoon catamaran tour yesterday and spotted a sparrow whale, a fin whale, and several common dolphins. The information was well explained, and we learned a lot about the marine life. Afterwards, we even received a link to download photos. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Even though the tours run several times a day, you get the feeling that marine conservation and species protection are important to the operator. Our tour was also significantly longer and wasn't cut short, so we had plenty of time to observe the marine life after spotting them. (Original) Absolute Weiterempfehlung. Wir waren gestern auf der Nachmittags Tour mit dem Catamaran und konnten dabei den Sperwhale, den Finwhale und diverse Common Dolphins spotten. Die Informationen wurden gut erklärt und wir haben einiges Wissenswertes über die Meeresbewohner gelernt. Im Nachgang gab es sogar einen Link mit Bildern zum Download. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfreich. Auch wenn die Touren täglich mehrfach stattfinden, hatte man das Gefühl, dass der Meeres- und Artenschutz dem Anbieter wichtig ist. Unsere Tour ging auch deutlich länger und wurde nicht mittendrin abgebrochen, sodass wir genug Zeit hatten, um die Meeresbewohner nach Sichtung auch länger zu beobachten. Read more

We saw so many different kinds of dolphins today – truly impressive. Everything was perfectly organized by Futurismo, the boat was excellent, and the crew was fantastic. They not only took wonderful care of us, but they were also proud to show their guests a bit of their homeland. They explained everything clearly and understandably, answered all the questions from young and old alike, and were completely dedicated. Especially when the dolphins appeared in huge pods around the catamaran, the crew was even more enthusiastic than the guests. Highly recommended all around! 👍🐋🫍🐳 (Original) Wunderbares Erlebnis, wir haben heute so viele verschiedene Arten von Delfinen gesehen, beeindruckend. Alles bestens organisiert von Futurismo, prima Boot und eine wirklich tolle Crew. Die haben sich nicht nur rührend gekümmert, die waren stolz, ihren Gästen etwas von ihrer Heimat zeigen zu können, haben alles gut und verständlich erklärt, sind auf alle Fragen von jung und Alt eingegangen und waren mit dem ganzen Herzen dabei. Besonders, wenn die Delfine in wirklich großen Schwärmen rund um den Katamaran auftauchten war die Crew noch begeisterter als die Gäste. Einfach rundum empfehlenswert 👍🐋🫍🐳, top. Read more

I did the 8am whale watching tour on the small boat, which I think is better than the large one since you can get around the water better. The guide was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the animals and he was just excited to see them as we were. The captain was also amazing and shared in on the excitement. You can tell everyone here really enjoys their job and has a lot of respect for the animals. We were lucky to see 4 different types of dolphins and one whale!

We was on the zodiac and was really wild 😜. We have only one bad note. The English of the guide was really good. She spoke really fast and sometimes really hard to understand. By the way it was a perfect day Read more

It even went over time because whales were spotted at the end! They were also careful to ensure the animals weren't approached too closely and weren't disturbed! (Original) Sehr nette Mitarbeiter! Die Tour war definitiv jeden Cent wert! Die Tour ging auch über die Zeit hinaus weil am ende noch Wale gesichtet wurden! Es wurde auch auf die Tiere geachtet das man nicht zu nah heran fährt und sie nicht belästigt! 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
