Beautiful day on the water - The company we chose was excellent. Boats were very nice, rain jackets supplied (did not need), very good English spoken by our naturalist guide.
We saw sperm whales and lots of bottle nose dolphins.

Extraordinary experience - Great outing with passionate guides! We saw 4 species DE dolphins and sperm whales! The dolphins gave us a real aerial ballet! It’s definitely worth it DE do it in the morning, the sea was oil!
And there were not too many of us (20).
Really amazing experience!

Super evening tour with whales and dolphins - Great tour! We have seen both 3 species of dolphins and several sperm whales. The biologist provided interesting information, while the boatmaster carefully led us to the animal group. After the tour ES had a drink, a snack and ES answered questions. Can only recommend ES (especially the evening tour)!

Unique experience in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean - The tour in the speedboat was mega. For the kids like a great roller coaster:) Our guides kept us very well informed throughout the trip - we saw 5 different whales and dolphins.

Everything with it, almost like in a zoo, only in real life! Sperm whales, pilot whales and pinball 😍 - Afternoon tour for 3 hours, in nice, somewhat windy weather and waves.
We have a group of sperm whales, 5 first, then 3 more, great experience!
Secondly, we were able to observe a group of pilot whales, really nice. And finally another sperm whale diving and next to it a group of bottlenose dolphins, better known as pinball, who showed us some salti and other tricks. A beautiful experience!
Thanks to Ana and Paulo, our guides
