Under brilliant sunshine and calm seas, we were able to observe two pods of dolphins. The crew then continued further out – and we were actually lucky enough to see whales as well. On the return trip, there was another special highlight: three manta rays! Instead of the planned 3 hours, we were out for a full 4.5 hours and were also able to enjoy the impressive, rugged coastline of São Miguel up close. A fantastic experience and a wonderful start to our time on São Miguel. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience São Miguel from the water and see as many animals as possible in their natural habitat. (Original) Unvergessliche Bootsfahrt auf São Miguel! Was für ein Erlebnis! Bei strahlendem Sonnenschein und ruhiger See konnten wir gleich zwei Delfinschulen beobachten. Die Crew fuhr anschließend weiter hinaus – und wir hatten tatsächlich das Glück, auch Wale zu sehen. Auf der Rückfahrt gab es noch einen besonderen Höhepunkt: drei Mantas! Statt der geplanten 3 Stunden waren wir ganze 4½ Stunden unterwegs und konnten zusätzlich die beeindruckende, zerklüftete Küste von São Miguel aus nächster Nähe genießen. Ein fantastisches Erlebnis und ein wunderschöner Start auf São Miguel. Wir können diese Tour jedem empfehlen, der São Miguel vom Wasser aus erleben und möglichst viele Tiere in freier Wildbahn sehen möchte. Read more

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

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

We went out on a Zodiac boat with two crew members, Leila? and Maria?. Both were absolutely fantastic 🩵💙. We saw a Bryde's whale with her calf. We also saw a lot of dolphins jumping around our boat. The ride on the Zodiac boat is incredibly fun, and seeing the island from the sea is beautiful. We saw two flying fish right next to the boat. At first, I thought I was hallucinating or had sunstroke... but when Leila said, "It's a flying fish," I was totally thrilled 😂. Aside from the whale and dolphin watching, we had a great briefing. I loved the ride on the Zodiac. It’s huge fun taking the boat over the waves and through the turns. We booked directly via the Futurismo website, it was very easy. For the trip, we had pure sunshine, I recommend some Water and a hat or a cap... and hold on tight, otherwise you’ll have to stop and fish it out of the water. 😂 BIG THANKS to both of you 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 😘 Read more

My wife and me did the whale/dolphin watching and the Jeep Safari with great Miguel. We can highly recommend Futorismo as they did a great job. Once you arrive you have to go the counter, that they know you are there. For the whale watching we used the zodiac boat. We had a great and honest guide, who brought us to a place with closely 200 dolphins which was lucky to us as this is no Aquarium and they can't promise but really met expectations. Whales couldn't be seen, but this was absolutly 👌. We went wet through that tour, which was fine as you get cloth and you are informed. The Jeep Safari with Miguel was also super. He is a great Guy and guide. He showed as beautiful places. We were 4 person and he took note of all question to give us a good perpective of Sao Miguel. Our tour took us through the east so we have the West for our one. It's really a good way to experience the Island. We had brilliant food and a little kajak tour. It's good to plan your tour in advance so you get the right timing for all your activities. Thanks to my wife who did it from home. All the best for Futorismo and It's fantastisk team ❤️ Read more

So fast, agile, curious, and wild, they darted from one side of the boat to the other at full speed. We could see them surfacing to breathe and also while they were submerged, thanks to the water's clarity. Magical! We also had the opportunity to see sperm whales catching their breath at the surface and a female with her calf. The water was crystal clear, displaying different shades of blue and silver depending on the light and the time of day. The catamaran was very clean, comfortable, and spacious. The crew kept an eye out for the animals and explained their characteristics, reactions, and routines. A true Atlantic adventure off the coast of São Miguel! (Original) Emocionante experiencia repleta de delfines comunes, moteados y mulares. Tan rápidos, ágiles, curiosos y salvajes, pasaban de un lado al otro del barco a toda velocidad. Podíamos verlos cuando salían a respirar y también mientras estaban sumergidos por la transparencia del agua. Mágicos! Además tuvimos ocasión de ver cachalotes recuperando el aliento en la superficie y una hembra con su cría. El agua transparente con distintos tonos azulados y plateados según a luz y el momento. El catamarán, muy limpio, cómodo y espacioso. La crew iba localizando a los animales y explicándonos cómo son, cómo reaccionan, sus características y rutinas. Auténtica aventura atlántica en la costa de Sao Miguel! Read more

I would like to highlight the attention, concern, and constant care of the entire crew — especially one of the sailors, who was always attentive and ready to give us the best tips to enjoy the marine spectacle. This time, for professional reasons, I accompanied a user in a wheelchair. During the trip, due to the unexpected rocking of the boat, we experienced a small scare while trying to keep the chair balanced. Fortunately, it was just a minor incident without any consequences, and I want to make it clear that the crew had no responsibility for what happened — on the contrary, they were tireless, helpful, and extremely quick to support us, and for this they have my deepest gratitude. However, this episode made me reflect on accessibility on board. Since the catamaran is a boat that welcomes passengers with reduced mobility, I believe it would be a great asset to have dedicated areas and appropriate fastening/safety mechanisms for wheelchairs (even locked ones), ideally in a location with good visibility of the sea. If it is already difficult for anyone to maintain balance during a stronger wave, managing a wheelchair becomes an even greater challenge. I leave this note with the purely constructive intention of helping you make your service, which is already excellent, even safer and more inclusive. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the commitment and dedication that provided us with a memorable day. Until next time! Best regards, Cláudio Dias (Original) ​Estimada equipa, ​Esta foi a terceira vez que recorri aos vossos serviços e, mais uma vez, a experiência foi incrível. Destaco a atenção, a preocupação e o cuidado constante de toda a tripulação — em especial de um dos marinheiros, que esteve sempre atento e pronto a dar-nos as melhores dicas para desfrutarmos do espetáculo marinho. ​Desta vez, por motivos profissionais, acompanhei um utente em cadeira de rodas. Durante a viagem, devido ao balanço inesperado do barco, vivemos um pequeno sobressalto ao tentar manter a cadeira equilibrada. Felizmente, não passou de um susto sem qualquer consequência e quero deixar bem claro que a tripulação não teve qualquer responsabilidade no sucedido — pelo contrário, foram incansáveis, prestáveis e extremamente céleres a apoiar-nos e nisto têm o meu profundo agradecimento. ​No entanto, este episódio fez-me refletir sobre a acessibilidade a bordo. Sendo o catamarã um barco que acolhe passageiros com mobilidade reduzida, creio que seria uma grande mais-valia contar com zonas dedicadas e mecanismos de fixação/segurança próprios para cadeiras de rodas (mesmo travadas), idealmente num local com boa visibilidade para o mar. Se para qualquer pessoa já é difícil manter o equilíbrio durante uma vaga mais forte, a gerir uma cadeira de rodas torna-se um desafio ainda maior. ​Deixo esta nota com o intuito puramente construtivo de vos ajudar a tornar o vosso serviço, que já é excelente, ainda mais seguro e inclusivo. ​Agradeço do fundo do coração todo o empenho e dedicação que nos proporcionaram um dia memorável. ​Até à próxima! ​Com os melhores cumprimentos, Cláudio Dias Read more

We traveled by catamaran and had a wonderful time. The tour included lots of interesting information and was very well organized. The highlight, of course, was the animals. We saw dolphins and even several sperm whales, which was a truly impressive experience! We highly recommend the catamaran. There are plenty of seats, and you don't have to worry about getting a good spot on deck. This makes the tour particularly suitable for older people. You can simply relax and enjoy the ride while still seeing a lot. For us, it was a fantastic experience on São Miguel that we would do again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Wir haben Delfine und sogar mehrere Pottwale gesehen, was wirklich ein beeindruckendes Erlebnis war! Den Katamaran können wir ebenfalls sehr empfehlen. Es gibt ausreichend Sitzplätze und man muss überhaupt keinen Stress haben, einen guten Platz an Deck zu bekommen. Dadurch ist die Tour aus unserer Sicht auch gut für ältere Menschen geeignet. Man kann die Fahrt einfach entspannt genießen und trotzdem viel sehen. Für uns ein rundum tolles Erlebnis auf São Miguel, das wir jederzeit wieder machen würden. Absolute Empfehlung! Read more
