Wow – what an absolutely incredible experience! Futurismo Azores Adventures gave us a trip we’ll never forget. Seeing two stunning species of dolphins dancing in the waves was pure magic – such a joyful and heartwarming moment! Although we didn’t spot any whales this time, the beauty of the Azores completely stole the show. The views were breathtaking – dramatic volcanic craters, lush green landscapes, and the endless blue of the ocean all around us. It felt like stepping into a postcard! If you’re looking for an adventure that fills your soul with wonder and leaves you in awe of nature, this is it. I can’t recommend Futurismo enough – truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Absolute highlight of my trip I went whale watching a few days ago and honestly it was the best experience ever and without a doubt the highlight of my entire São Miguel Azores trip. We saw freaking orcas. Not just briefly or from far away. The crew really gave it their all to make sure we could see them, and the orcas were super active and absolutely mind-blowing. I was completely blown away. It was so, so, so amazing. What I really appreciated was how ethical and respectful the whole experience was. There are very clear rules on how the animals are approached, for example only from behind and with proper distance. As soon as we were close to the orcas, the engine was turned off so they would not be disturbed. You could really tell that the well-being of the animals always comes first. The whales are also spotted from land-based viewpoints rather than using any methods that could stress or interfere with them, which gave me a really good feeling about the tour. On top of that, two marine biologists were on board and they were fantastic. Super knowledgeable, passionate, and they shared really interesting information throughout the trip. One personal highlight for me was that I was allowed to put my GoPro into the water. One of the marine biologists even kindly lent me her underwater case for a while, which allowed me to capture incredible videos of the orcas. That was truly unforgettable. Overall, an absolutely perfect experience. Emotional, respectful, and incredibly well run. Highly recommended. 🌊🐋✨

Just do it! We went on the zodiac boat tour on our last day on the island and i could have done it the entire day. just the magical landscape in the back surrounded by dolphins was magical. The staff was great, fun and gave a lot of information about the species, when and where they are usually to meet. They also provide you with water resistant coats and trousers if you don‘t have them with you so you can safe that space in your luggage.
