Review of Terceira whale and dolphin watching, with small boats, expert spotting, wildlife tips, price, timing, and practical booking advice.

“3 hour excursion was delightful. We saw three different species of dolphin up close for long periods of time; no whales today, but that's mother nature. I liked that the boat was small - 12 passengers in 6 rows, so everyone had a great view at all times (some competitors' boats had seating of 4-5 across). The seas were not particularly rough, so the experience might have been a little different with bigger swells. The seats straddled a partition and had grab bars, so I always felt safe even when standing up to see across to the opposite side, although for those with limited leg flexibility they might be a…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 51 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $147

Swim with wild dolphins off Terceira, Azores, in small groups with marine guides, equipment, safety support, and a sighting guarantee.

“This was, without a doubt, the best tour I’ve ever taken in my entire life. We truly enjoyed the experience. This is the only way dolphins should be seen (in their natural habitat, and with small groups of people, so they don’t get stressed) Finally, my childhood dream came true, and I couldn’t have found better guides, better location, or a better company to make it happen. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for making it possible. Now I can return to Spain feeling thankful and incredibly blessed. Thanks 🙏”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 24 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $84

Review of Terceira’s 2.5-hour whale and dolphin tour, including wildlife sightings, boat details, price, transport tips, and booking advice.

“It was a great trip on a small open boat. Our guide, Raquel a marine biologist was excellent. She was very informative and was sure to see that everyone could spot the dolphins or had any questions. We saw three different species of dolphins. Unfortunately we did not see any whales, however that is how is goes sometimes. The ocean was a little choppy that day but that made the boat ride all the more exciting. Great trip, great guide and a great ride. We would definitely recommend.”
