Observação de Baleias e Golfinhos • Lajes do Pico • Meio Dia

Our whale and dolphin watching adventure on Pico Island begins at the port of Lajes do Pico along the island’s picturesque southern coast. From here, our team of marine biologists provides a brief but informative introduction, explaining the species you may encounter and the responsible observation guidelines we follow to protect these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. Guests then embark on our rigid-hull boat, the "Alfredo Baleeiro," for an unforgettable three-hour journey across the pristine Azorean waters, where sightings of a remarkable variety of cetaceans are possible. Springtime is considered especially ideal for spotting large whales, including blue whales, fin whales, and sei whales, offering a truly remarkable marine experience.

Safety and comfort are top priorities throughout the journey, with life jackets provided for all passengers and waterproof jackets available for added protection against the elements. As you cruise along the stunning coastline, you will have the opportunity to admire these gentle giants up close, gain insight into their behaviors, and capture breathtaking moments. This tour combines adventure, education, and responsible wildlife observation, making it a memorable experience for nature lovers, families, and first-time visitors alike.
