Portuguese biologists with very close communication in Spanish, which is appreciated in this type of experience. My wife suffered from the usual dizziness in this type of activity and one of the guides kept an eye on her throughout the activity, which was much appreciated and allowed the rest of the family to enjoy the experience. A lot of skill on the part of the pilot at the time of the dive to observe them. Thank you.

Then we'll put on all the necessary equipment and set off on the boat trip to a popular spot for watching Dolphins in the Atlantic Ocean. Once we arrive, we'll dive into the beautiful ocean and meet these affectionate animals.

For the next few hours, you'll swim with these wonderful creatures and enjoy playing with them in the water. All the time you'll be surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of the Azores Islands. When the activity has finished, we'll head back to land, admiring the incredible views of the coast of Terceira on the way. We'll arrive after a total of 2.5 - 3 hours.

Biólogos Portugueses con comunicación en Español muy cercana, lo cual es de agradecer en este tipo de experiencias. Mi esposa sufrió los mareos habituales en este tipo de actividades y uno de los guías estuvo pendiente de ella durante toda la actividad, lo cual, se agradeció mucho y nos permitió al resto de la familia disfrutar de la experiencia. Mucha pericia por parte del piloto en el momento de la inmersión para observarlos. Gracias. Translate this opinion into English.

Fui tudo muito bom. Desde da receção “ Beatriz” foi muito atenciosa a simpática. Os guias/ biólogos , pena só por não me recordar dos nomes, super simpáticos e empenhados em realizar a melhor experiência possível. Sempre calmos e alegres. Em resumo experiência excepcional. Translate this opinion into English.

I was all very good. From the reception onwards, “Beatriz” was very attentive and friendly. The guides/biologists, it's a shame I don't remember their names, are super friendly and committed to having the best experience possible. Always calm and cheerful. In short, an exceptional experience. Opinion translated. Show original.

Actividad recomendable. Aunque pintaba que veriamos muy poco a los delfines porque son muy escurridizos, los monitores hicieron todo lo posible para que los vieramos. Te dejan tirar de la lancha sólo de 3 en 3, y yo me tiré 4 veces (3 de las cuales los pude ver bien). Te dan equipo de snorkel y neopreno. Translate this opinion into English.

Recommended activity. Although it appeared that we would see very little of the dolphins because they are very elusive, the monitors did everything possible for us to see them. They let you pull the boat only 3 at a time, and I jumped 4 times (3 of which I could see well). They give you snorkeling and neoprene equipment. Opinion translated. Show original.

Esperienza unica e resa ancora più speciale grazie al super team. Abbiamo avuto un inconveniente durante l’attività, ma tutti sono stati subito pronti a sistemare la cosa e hanno fatto davvero l’impossibilità per farci vivere questa esperienza al meglio. Cordialità, professionalità, attenzione: non c’è stata una cosa a cui non darei 5 stelle piene. L’obiettivo era davvero farci divertire e uscirne contenti, nel massimo della sicurezza. Noi rifaremmo questa esperienza ancora mille volte!
