Dressing for the Sea

As you prepare to embark on an epic Azorean whale watching adventure, one question may arise: “What should I wear?” The answer lies in understanding the unique conditions of this remarkable journey and ensuring you’re equipped for the experience of a lifetime. Join us as we explore the art of dressing for the sea in the Azores.

01

Weather Considerations

The Azores boast a climate unlike any other. Here, the weather can be as unpredictable as the ocean itself. While these islands offer enchanting landscapes and crystal-clear waters, they also present an ever-changing climate. To make the most of your whale watching tour, it's crucial to be prepared for any weather conditions.

02

Layering for Comfort

In the world of marine adventures, layering is your best friend. The Azorean climate can transition from sunny and mild to breezy and damp in a matter of minutes. By wearing multiple layers, you're equipped to adapt as needed. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer to keep you dry. Add insulating mid-layers for warmth, and finish with protective outer layers, including a waterproof jacket, to shield against sea spray and rain.

03

Waterproof Gear

One of the cardinal rules of whale watching attire: invest in waterproof clothing. The waters around the Azores can be calm and serene one moment, and then lively with whale activity the next. To ensure your comfort and dryness, equip yourself with waterproof jackets, pants, and even footwear. When the ocean splashes, these items will keep you cozy and content.

04

Footwear Selection

Stability is key when you're at sea, and your choice of footwear plays a pivotal role. Opt for closed-toe shoes or waterproof boots with non-slip soles. Such footwear offers traction and protection, allowing you to move safely around the boat while keeping your feet dry.

05

Headgear and Accessories

The elements at sea can be unforgiving, with both sun and wind to contend with. Consider wearing a hat, beanie, or headband to shield your head and ears from gusts and sun exposure. Sunglasses and sunscreen are essential to protect your eyes and skin from UV rays. It's not just about comfort; it's about ensuring a memorable experience free from discomfort.

06

Packing Essentials

Before setting sail, make sure to bring along some essentials. A lightweight backpack is ideal for storing your belongings, such as a camera to capture awe-inspiring moments and a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. Remember, less is often more when it comes to packing. The goal is to keep things practical and unburdened.

07

Dressing for the Occasion

While fashion is a consideration, functionality is paramount. Dress comfortably and in a way that suits outdoor activities. Prioritize clothing that allows for ease of movement, and always remember that comfort and practicality are the true stars of the show.

Seafaring Elegance

As you prepare for your Azorean whale watching adventure, keep in mind that dressing appropriately enhances your experience. Be ready to embrace the ever-changing sea conditions with layered clothing, waterproof gear, and the right accessories. By doing so, you’ll be well-prepared to Explore, Love, and Protect the marine wonders of the Azores.

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

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.
