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 were given some explanations about their approach to animal welfare, as well as small actions we can take to reduce pollution, such as picking up litter. I really loved this initiative and I hope it will encourage others to do more! The pre-departure briefing was clear, especially regarding the fact that it would be rough on the boat… after all, we were in the ocean! We were given raincoats for those who wanted them, as well as a life jacket. At this time of year, our windbreakers were very welcome, as the raincoats would probably have been too hot. In fact, we barely got wet during the entire adventure. Before setting off, we were clearly instructed to raise our hands if we weren't feeling well. On several occasions, they also warned us that the sea would be rough for those prone to seasickness. And what an experience it was! Even the guide was filming because the scene was so impressive: over 200 dolphins were jumping around us! 🐬 A truly magical moment!!! Despite the numerous warnings, some people got seasick. Perhaps they simply didn't realize they didn't tolerate waves well. The team paused the adventure to allow some people to disembark. Some hesitated and ultimately stayed, but didn't seem to enjoy what followed: nausea, vomiting, and even tears… If you're hesitating, don't stay and don't take the risk! 😅 We then continued our journey in search of whales, but unfortunately, we didn't see any. The weather wasn't in our favor, and we had also lost some time. However, we were lucky enough to see some older dolphins, some of whom looked to be around 30 years old. They were larger and had several scars, which was truly impressive to see. The boat was comfortable despite the bumps in the waves. I can confirm one thing: it's a wonderful experience… but yes, it's a bumpy ride! 😂 And the impressive number of dolphins we saw will certainly remain one of the most magical moments of our trip. A truly unforgettable experience! 🐬❤️ (Original) Wow, quelle aventure ! 🐬 Dès notre arrivée, nous avons eu droit à un accueil chaleureux et dynamique. On nous a donné quelques explications sur leur façon de respecter les animaux, ainsi que sur les petits gestes que nous pouvons poser pour réduire la pollution, notamment en ramassant les déchets. J’ai vraiment adoré cette initiative et j’espère que cela encouragera certaines personnes à en faire davantage ! Les explications avant le départ étaient claires, notamment sur le fait que ça allait brasser en bateau… après tout, nous sommes dans l’océan ! Nous avons reçu des imperméables pour ceux qui en voulaient, ainsi qu’une veste de sauvetage. À cette période de l’année, notre coupe-vent a été très apprécié, car l’imperméable aurait probablement été trop chaud. Nous avons d’ailleurs été à peine mouillés pendant toute l’aventure. Avant de partir, on nous a bien expliqué de lever la main si nous ne nous sentions pas bien. À plusieurs reprises, ils nous ont également avertis que la mer allait être agitée pour les personnes qui ont le mal de mer. Et quelle expérience nous avons vécue ! Même la guide filmait tellement la scène était impressionnante : plus de 200 dauphins sautaient autour de nous ! 🐬 Un moment plus que magique !!! Malgré les nombreux avertissements, certaines personnes ont été malades en bateau. Peut-être qu’elles ne savaient tout simplement pas qu’elles toléraient mal les vagues. L’équipe a fait une pause dans l’aventure afin de permettre à certaines personnes de débarquer. Certaines ont hésité et sont finalement restées, mais ne semblaient pas vraiment apprécier la suite : nausées, vomissements et même des pleurs… Si vous hésitez, ne restez pas et ne tentez pas votre chance ! 😅 Nous avons ensuite poursuivi notre route à la recherche des baleines, mais malheureusement, nous n’avons pas pu en voir. La météo n’était pas en notre faveur et nous avions également perdu un peu de temps. Par contre, nous avons eu la chance d’observer de vieux dauphins, dont certains semblaient avoir environ 30 ans. Ils étaient plus gros et portaient plusieurs cicatrices, ce qui était vraiment impressionnant à observer. Le bateau était confortable malgré les impacts des vagues. Je peux vous confirmer une chose : c’est une très belle expérience… mais oui, ça brasse ! 😂 Et cette quantité impressionnante de dauphins que nous avons vue restera certainement l’un des moments les plus magiques de notre voyage. Une expérience tout simplement inoubliable ! 🐬❤️ 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.
