Sao Miguel Swimming With Dolphins Experience is one of the top adventures for the summer season in Portugal.

Join a fantastic and unique Wildlife Experience! Swim with wild Dolphins in the open ocean, and snorkel the Atlantic underwater scenario of the Azores Islands!

This 2:30 hour boat tour provides a glimpse to the season’s coastal marine fauna and flora, along with the best connection to Nature, in the heart of the Atlantic. The journey will start with a short briefing introducing you to local species, onboard safety, and snorkeling equipment usage. You will follow the Guide and Skipper to board their designated boat, and go out to sea. Our lookout high inland will then locate our friends, and provide directions via VHF Radio to where the boat will travel – initially at high speed, so hold on and enjoy the ride!

While approaching our friends slowly, and very carefully, your Guide will evaluate if favourable conditions are met to allow the activity proceeding. You must be always be prepared to go into the water! 2 swimmers will alternate in the water during limited periods of time – and you do not want to miss an opportunity in which Dolphins eventually can come close by their friendliness and curiosity.

On the second part of the tour, the boat will travel to a coastal location for snorkeling, to discover the characteristic marine fauna & flora in the island’s sea bottom.

Swimming with dolphins is controlled by strict legislation and instructors will ensure that both snorkelers and dolphins benefit from the experience. Half day adventures are suitable for all ages, sizes, and abilities – couples, families, school groups, and social and special interest groups.
