Whale Watching – Half Day

A tour dedicated to the sea and its wonders!

Where you’ll be able to observe the wild life that abounds in the West and North cost of São Miguel island.

At Mosteiros we are privileged by our location, at the west part of the island we find refuge, relaxation, peace from all the noise from traffic and city lights, as do the whales, turtles, dolphins and fish we find out here.

There are more than 25 cetacean species that you can observe in the Azores, as we are part of most whale’s migration route. But the star of the show are our resident sperm whales, that thrive around the, quite private, North cost. It’s truly life abundant.

You will also have the chance to pass by the iconic islets of Mosteiros and glance the amazing coastline that this bay has.

What You Can Expect

The experience starts at our office in Mosteiros fishing port!
After check-in, you will be given:

• Life jacket
• Waterproof light jacket (if necessary)
• Briefing by our guide and biologist about what you can expect to see and about our safety procedures
• Informations about the sighted animals
• Photos shared (whenever possible)

After that we’ll head out to the boat, then we will head out to the positions given by our whale spotter at land. Back on land we’ll head back to our office where and share with you some additional info about the animals that we saw on the trip.

Please remember that the animals are in their home, wandering in the great Atlantic ocean and because of that the sighting of cetaceans is not guaranteed.

What to Bring

• Water
• Comfortable clothes (warm or light according to season)
• Jackets
• Identifications
• Camera, to capture all the amazing sights!
