    Save the dolphins a lot of stress
    Review of: Swim with Dolphins in the Azores

    First and foremost dealing with Picos de Aventuras was a pleasure. The folks in the office and in the boat are customer service experts. *Your mileage will vary* when it comes to this activity and I knew this coming in after having viewed video clips...More

    Review of: Half-Day Whale and Dolphin Watching Tour

    We booked a last minute 3 hour whale watching tour with Picos de Aventura early September. After a short instructional presentation, we donned over-sized life vests, grabbed raincoats, and boarded our boat. We assumed that we would be cruising in their larger double decked power...More
