Whale and Dolphin Watching • Lajes do Pico • Half Day

Our whale and dolphin watching adventure on the island of Pico begins at the port of Lajes do Pico, on the south coast of the island. From here, our marine biologists give a short briefing about the experience (including, for example, some whale watching guidelines that we at Futurismo follow in order to respect the animals in their natural habitat) and about the species that may be spotted.

The boat trip in our semi-rigid boat “Alfredo Baleeiro” lasts around 3 hours. Here, in the Azorean waters, 28 species of cetaceans can be observed, and spring is considered the best time to see large whales in the Azores, such as blue whales, fin whales and sei whales.

During the trip, each passenger must wear a life jacket for safety reasons. For your comfort, Futurismo provides waterproof jackets.
