Jump into the Atlantic Ocean and swim with one of the most amazing animals- dolphins! The wildlife guides from Terra Azul will take you to an unforgettable adventure, at the same time making sure that both you and the dolphins feel comfortable and are safe. Our goal is to give you insights into the maritime world of the Azores, that is why our guides speak seven languages so you can truly understand every piece of information and ask about every detail. This tour allows you to swim and snorkel with up to four different dolphin species. This way you will feel a connection to nature and the diverse life in the ocean. We are looking forward to meeting you at our base in Vila Franca do Campo!
Tour info- Route: From Marina of Vila Franca do Campo
- Type: Round trip
Tour programme- Departure: We meet at the
Marina of Vila Franca do Campo at the booked time. We brief you about safety during the tour, responsible practice whilst swimming, usage of the equipment and your guide gives you an introduction to the local dolphin species, as well as their habitat, behaviour and migration. Then we head to the boat together with your guide for the tour and the skipper.
- Tour: Once on the boat, we will get the location of the dolphins via VHF Radio from the inland lookout point. In this part of Atlantic Ocean live
four different dolphins species. In order to go swimming, we will carefully approach the animals and your guide will decide what's the best position to go out of the boat. To be sure that we don't disturb the animals,
only two swimmers at the time can be in the water for the limited time. After your swim, we will head to the coastal location to explore nature whilst snorkeling.
- Arrival: Our tour ends in the same spot where it started.
