Whale Watching Tours in Azores

3 tours · €65–€125 · ★ 4.8

The Azores sit over a deep Atlantic trench, which makes these islands one of the best whale watching spots in Europe. Sperm whales live here year-round, and several dolphin species show up on almost every trip.

The available tour departs from Terceira and runs about 2.5 hours. It's a swimming-with-dolphins trip in their natural habitat - not a pool, not a park. A guide identifies species and explains what you're seeing. Sighting rates are high year-round, with spring and summer best for larger whales.

3 whale watching tours in the Azores from €65. Boat trips, marine guides, free cancellation.
