Whale Watching: Half Day - Lajes do Pico
Date and Participants
About the Experience
Duration:
3 hours
Difficulty level:
Easy
Description:
Our adventure to see whales and dolphins on Pico island begins at the port of Lajes do Pico, on the south coast of the island. It is from here that our marine biologists give a short briefing about the experience (such as some whale watching guidelines that we Futurismo follow to respect the animals in their natural habitat), and about the species that can be observed.
The boat trip on our semi-rigid "Alfredo Baleeiro" lasts around 3 hours. Here, in Azorean waters, 28 species of cetaceans can be observed, with spring being considered the best time to see large whales in the Azores, such as blue whales, fin whales and sardine whales.
During the journey, each passenger must wear a life jacket for safety reasons. For your comfort, Futurismo offers waterproof jackets.
