About this activity
Your experience begins with a briefing in which you will be given all the advice on interaction with dolphins and ways of behaving in the sea in order to make the most of this experience. We will make a brief trip to meet these friendly animals, then, its time for the interaction, the whole process will be carefully evaluated to ensure that the animals are comfortable and available to share their habitat with us. You will be able to count on the presence of common dolphins (Delphinus delphis), Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis), rissos (Grampus griseus) or bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). It will be a wonderful experience and certainly one of the best memories of your visit to the Azores. The return to land will be done in order to enjoy fully the landscapes of the coast line of our island.

Swimming with the dolphins in the wild is an incredible once in a lifetime experience. I went in the water 4 times and was able to see them twice. You have to go in super quick or you miss them, and thats hard to do when you are also trying to clear your snorkel of water. Still amazing and still worth it to be 10 feet from a wild dolphin, even if only for 3 seconds! Caution, our boat had younger kids—all of them were not feeling it and would not go in! Their parents were really bummed they were afraid. I wouldnt recommend this for a kid under 12!
Though the weather was chilly, the company was warm and inviting to enjoy the dolphins close up in their natural habitat. Thanks for a great experience1
