Whale Watching Azores

Observação de Baleias e Golfinhos - Faial 2011
No início de Abril começaremos a nossa época de observação de baleias e golfinhos. Os nossos vigias têm avistado cachalotes com frequência e já foram também avistadas várias baleias azuis. A primavera é a melhor época do ano para observar baleias de barbas nos Açores, como a baleia azul a baleia comum e a sardinheira, devido à maior abundância de "krill" junto à costa das ilhas.
Para mais informações sobre as nossas viagens e também pacotes com várias opções de alojamento (hoteis, residenciais, turismo rural, apartamentos) na ilha do Faial, por favor contacte-nos ou visite o nosso site.

WHALE WATCHING IN AZORES - FAIAL 2011
Blue whales have already been sighted by our lookouts and this spring promises to be a very good baleen whales season. In fact this is the time when krill exists in more abundance closer to the islands and the south coast of Faial and Pico islands become a real "sanctuary" for blue whales, fin whales and sei whales.
We have from April until October packages with accommodation in Horta and around Faial Island. Our packages include: transfer from/to Horta airport, accommodation and whale watching trips.

There is a very good variety of accommodations types you can choose from. Hotels, bed and breakfast, apartments, guest houses and rural tourism in traditional Azorean houses are the most common options.
Please feel free to visit our web site or send us an email, if you consider your whale watching scuba diving in azores.
