Whale watching
Details
Lajes do Pico is one of the best places in the world, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, to observe several species of whales and dolphins.
Witness the world’s largest marine animals on this whale watching trip from Pico Island.
Bringing nature to life, the Azores are considered one of the best places in the world to see ocean giants like sperm whales and blue whales.
A marine reserve with increasing populations of resident and migrating cetaceans, explore the horizon for stunning breaches and porpoising behaviour from the island of Pico in the Azores!
Organised according to the weather and time of year, boats will set off from the port with a dedicated marine biologist. As you head out into the open ocean, they will explain more about the unique biodiversity of the marine area.
During the three hour excursion, your skipper will be in contact with a ‘Vigia’ or lookout that will guide you towards the whales and ensure you see as many as possible.
Once you have completed a circuit of the marine protected area, you will return to the port.
