Amazing experience! - We had such a wonderful time whale watching. We are a family of three generations traveling (ages 14-77) and we all enjoyed it. Inez was our biologist and guide. She was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the different species of animals (whales, dolphins, and birds). We were lucky to see a sperm whale and a ton of dolphins. The tour company did a great job of not putting stress on the animals but also allowed us to observe them up close. The boat is small - 30ish people max. You sit straddle the seat - but I felt like I was more secure sitting that way. Wear the jackets they offer - you will get wet. Wonderful day and beautiful experience.

Great experience - Magical experience. Special mention for the skipper and his beautiful mood, and matteo the multilingual guide who particularly cares for children, and who knows how to transmit his passion. Small comfortable boat that allowed us to see dolphins, sperm whales and turtle. 3 hours of magical walk, we learn patience, and observation for children.

It was amazing - It was amazing, we saw a killer whale and a fin whale with a calf ( which is rare and was just magical). The tour organization was on the highest levels, we felt totally safe and well informed. It was very fun too.

Wonderful experience - Very well organized. Friendly guide. Fin whale with calf and an orca seen. There was always information about the whales and the island. The return trip is a huge fun for the children.

Incredible experience and service and exceptional - A truly memorable experience provided by Blue Earth. The excellence of the service and the professionalism of the staff contributed to an unforgettable day, when the weather conditions — and a little luck — allowed us to observe six cachalotes, in three distinct sightings, and two groups of dolphins. I highly recommend this company. Having made a similar trip days earlier on the island of Pico, I was surprised by the abundance of marine life seen in São Miguel. A unique experience that is really worth it!

Nice excursion - We loved it though we were with an English group and unfortunately it wasn't translated into French automatically. We had taken with French guide. But we were able to see whales and dolphins. They offer you clothes to avoid getting wet. Don't hesitate to take!

Watching whales - I really liked the experience just thought we'd stay longer waiting to see more whales. We spent much longer watching dolphins than whales, and my biggest goal was seeing whales.

Whale watching outing - The team was very nice and professional. The boat ride was really fun. Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales. We did see dolphins and a sunfish. Please note that you cannot pay by card there.

Wasn't what I expected - Marketing is too good compared to reality. However the guide was very friendly and entertaining. I'm not too satisfied
