Dolphins, Whales & Ribeira Quente

Take a trip to the south coast of Sao Miguel for some whale watching and snorkeling. Spend most of your day discovering the natural beauty of Portugal and having some fun. Make your reservation today.

Your tour from Ponta Delgada begins with a short briefing to ensure your safety on the trip. Once that's done, you're off to sea for some whale watching. You'll enjoy a few hours of relaxation as you observe these mammals in their natural habitat. Take as many photos as you want, but make sure you have battery for the latter half of the tour!

At noon, you'll stop for lunch at a local restaurant and then visit the parish of Ribeira Quente and its famous "fire beach," which does not get its name from actual fire - it's a reference to the hot springs in the area. During your time here, you'll get to do some snorkeling before enjoying a return trip to Ponta Delgada. Since the return trip is along the coast, you'll have one last chance to take some great photos of the natural landscapes around you.
