With Picos de Aventura, you’ll go beyond the typical wildlife tour: this is a carefully guided, respectful interaction led by marine biologists who are deeply passionate about ocean conservation.
What sets this tour apart you ask?
- Wild, not captive: You’ll be swimming with dolphins in their natural environment, where they are free to choose whether to interact. This makes every encounter meaningful and authentic.
- Biologist-led experience: Our tours are led by expert marine biologists with in-depth knowledge about dolphin behavior, species conservation, and the marine ecosystem of the Azores.
- Small group, low-impact: We limit the number of swimmers to ensure a calm, non-intrusive presence in the water—making the experience safer, more personal, and more respectful toward the animals.
This is not a theme park show—it’s a moment of silent connection in the open ocean. A unique chance to witness the grace of wild dolphins up close, guided by those who know and protect them best.
