Memorable parts?
Seeing a blue whale for the first time in my life
Tips?
Bring warm clothes for sea even in May it is quite chilly. Sea sickness pills: even if you are not sensitive some rough day at sea it may bring extra comfort. I did not bring but it is easy and cheap to buy at a pharmacy in Horta.
Local benefits?
I hope it will help for the conservation and understanding better local populations of whales
Overall rating?
This was a great experience, Tiago and... (more)Sylvain Masse
From
€1,595

Memorable parts?
Difficult to decide. Seeing so many whales and dolphins, the insight that the leader (Lisa) imparted in describing their behaviour, the beauty of Faial island.
Tips?
Stay relaxed and enjoy the experience and learn from the tour leader.
Local benefits?
Yes, right from the extensive briefing information received before the tour to seeing some of the oceanic problems at first hand. This then gets imparted to the local community encouraging them to act responsibly.

Swimming with wild dolphins in the clear blue sea was just amazing! The rib trips were well organised and friendly, and the sea-life co-operated! truly fantastic. The jeep trip to the volcanic springs was also really well worth doing. (more)Lois Pierce-Jones
We enjoyed watching the dolphins in their natural habitat. (more)Petra Udovic
From
£1,575

Memorable parts?
It was all great. If I had to choose highlights it would be the whale watching, Swimming with Dolphins, and snorkelling in the Lagoon.
Tips?
Go prepared to relax and enjoy the experience. The trip crams in a wide range of activities and experiences without ever feeling rushed.
Local benefits?
Yes. I was particularly impressed by the environmental and local concerns of the Rep and the steps taken to ensure that activities did not have an adverse effect on the... (more)Patrick Hadoke

Im not normally inclined to book group holidays because I’m not really the sociable kind although in fulfilling my wife’s long held dream to go Whale Watching I had little choice given how everything is structured. After some research I decided the Azores was the place to go therefore I booked one weeks holiday through Amanda finally settling on Pico Island as the destination.

Memorable parts?
All of it really but maybe the trips were the standout.. exceptionally good. Great whale and dolphin viewing, and the land tours were very interesting.
Tips?
Hire a car for the day and explore the spectacular wilderness coastline and stunning waterfalls.
Local benefits?
2 out of 3 yes. Not sure flying 3.50 mins reduced environmental impact, but the development of tourism is needed in this part of the world, to ensure the young people have a future.

Every day was fantastic, but of course seeing whales for the first time must be at the top.

Seeing and swimming with dolphins and whale watching was amazing. There are lots of them out there! Also really enjoyed the kayak and crater lake activity day.

Swimming with dolphins. On our trip we spotted a large pod of Atlantic spotted dolphins (our guide estimated 500) and we slipped into the water and swam
with them. They were everywhere and you could hear their clicking a high pitched whistling as well as almost being able to touch them they were so close. (more)Roy White

The most memorable and exciting part of the holiday was the " be a marine biologist for a day" trip was amazing, not only did we see whales and dolphins but got to understand a lot more about the research being done and all the conservation and protection measures that are ongoing.

The most memorable part of our holiday? All of it ! (more)Barry Brown
The highlight was the blue whales. A superb experience, and we would have changed hardly anything once we were there, although we had big problems with the flights both ways. (more)Wendy Cadman
Actually getting to see the whales as described - Blue, Fin, Sperm and Sei, as well as 3 different types of dolphins. Lisa is so experienced and enthusiastic, and the skipper of the boat was very skilled too. (more)Swee-Im Ung

Memorable parts?
The tours around the island were all brilliant but the whalewatching was unbelievably wonderful; really emotional and very special. But all the activities and tours were excellent; the three partners you chose were each really good; they knew their stuff and were very empathetic and engaging.
Tips?
Go!! The Azores were wonderful. Your choice of partners made it extra special - we appreciated being in our own family group and being looked after by
biologists and environmentalists... (more)Fiona Godwin-Brown
