Whale Watching in Sao Miguel
Description
Once we've met at Avenida João Bosco Mota Amaral, in the capital of Sao Miguel, we'll walk down to the Ponta Delgada port. Here we'll board a boat ready to set sail along the south coast of the island.
During the journey, a guide specialised in the wildlife of the Azores will explain the habits of the whales, dolphins and other marine mammals that live in this area of the Atlantic Ocean. Not only will we find out about their way of life, but we'll also get the chance to see them first-hand as they swim up close to our boat.
You'll discover how the marine mammals in Sao Miguel use the ocean currents at this latitude to undertake their journey across the Atlantic, always swimming alongside one or more of their species. After the jaw-dropping experience of seeing these animals in the flesh, the boat will head back to the port of Ponta Delgada.
