Editor’s take Roman Antonov · 6 best whale watching tours in the Azores, choice 4 of 6
I'd book this if you want a later start on Terceira. A local guide joins you for whale and dolphin watching. Tickets start at €65 per adult for 2 to 2.5 hours.
I'd take the 11:30 departure. There's also a boat at 08:30. Lookouts on the south coast help find the animals. The guide gives live commentary on board.
There's no hotel pickup or drop-off. Meet at the office opposite Cais d'Angra restaurant. Children aged 6 and up can join. Cancel at least 24 hours before departure for a full refund.
