We were absolutely delighted with our dolphin and whale watching trip with Terra Azul. They kept in close contact with us leading up to our journey to ensure we would go out in good weather. This company is very environmentally conscious and has an excellent marine biologist on board. They did a great debriefing, provide rides if needed from ponta delgada, and lent clothing to keep dry. We saw loads of dolphins and two fin whales (parent and baby), as well as the beautiful volcanic island of Vila Franca. We saw two other boats harassing the whales, breaking rules by getting way too close and of course, chasing them away. Please use Terra Azul instead of these other companies. They take excellent care of their customers and more importantly, the marine animals we’re here to see.
