We booked five different excursions for four people. Miguel, Sylvia, Jenny, and Helena were excellent guides. Miguel and Sylvia even guided us in excellent French. Four of the five tours met our expectations. However, the Jeep tour in Sete Cidades was disappointing. Despite what was advertised in the tour description, we didn't go to Lagoa do Fago, Caldeira Velha, or Salto do Cabrito. Instead, we were offered a bike and kayak tour! The most disappointing aspect of Futurismo was their reception at the Ponta Delgada office. On three visits, we received a cold welcome, with no greeting or smile. We really felt like we were bothering them. We still spent over €1,500 with them. We will remember the excellent work of Miguel and Sylvia from Futurismo. (Original) Futurismo: Des hauts et des bas! Commençons par le meilleur de la compagnie. Nous avions réservé 5 différentes excursions pour 4 personnes. Miguel, Sylvia, Jenny et Helena furent d'excellents guides. Miguel et Sylvia nous ont même guidé dans un excellent français. Quatre des cinq tours ont comblé nos attentes. Par contre le tour de Jeep à Sete Cidades fût décevant. Malgré ce qui est annoncé dans la description du tour, nous ne sommes pas allés au Lagoa do Fago, à la caldeira Velha et à Salto do Cabrito. On s'est fait plutôt offrir une randonnée en vélo et en kayak!!! Le plus décevant de Futurismo est leur accueil au bureau de Ponta Delgada. En trois visite, un accueil froid, sans bonjour, ni sourire. Nous avons vraiment l'impression de les déranger. Nous avons tout de même dépenser plus de 1500 euros avec eux. Nous retiendrons de Futurismo l'excellent travail de Miguel, Sylvia,,, Read more

We saw a Sei whale, which our marine biologist, Jessica, explained was a very lucky sight this time of year! We also got to experience 2 huge pods of dolphins (common and Atlantic spotted) swimming alongside us for quite a while. Our marine biologist and the captain of the boat were both knowledgeable and friendly. It truly seemed like they wanted us to have a great experience and learn about these amazing animals. Our tour was supposed to last around 2.5 hours, but it lasted 3 to allow us to enjoy ourselves and learn. Read more

Winding roads kept leading us to even more stunning spots: the oldest tea plantation, the Furnas volcano—just incredible. We got to savor the famous local stew, which we even helped lift out of the ground ourselves, and enjoyed the thermal pools. All in all, it was a wonderful, interesting, and informative day with Eduard. He’s great company, instantly makes you feel at ease, and has so much knowledge about his island, its nature, and its people. We truly loved every minute of it! Thank you Eduard. Read more

It took a little longer than expected, but it was definitely worth it because we were lucky enough to see two different types of whales.

Overall, an amazing experience that we would highly recommend! Thanks❤️ Read more

In the end, she loved it; it was actually my husband who got seasick 😂. The crew was very kind and competent, and we were lucky enough to see dolphins several times, as well as a beautiful whale. I highly recommend it! (Original) On nous a prévenu que la mer était houleuse, qu’on devrait reporter par rapport à notre bébé, comme elle a l’habitude des bateaux on a préféré rester. Au final elle a adoré, c’est plutôt mon mari qui a eu le mal de mer 😂.

We chose them for being respectful towards the animals and the sea and we weren’t disappointed, they even take time to explain everything before going out. For this experience we chose a zodiac cruise and we were able to spot bottlenose dolphins and Atlantic spotted dolphins. There was a lot of them surrounding us. This was truly magical! But be aware of the moving sea… there was some wind and waves on the way back so we were drenched eventually. A special thanks to Paola, our guide! She made this cruise nicer and funnier 🐬✨ 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.
