The Azores are really famous for being one of the best places to go for whale watching. Unfortunately we were visiting during the off-season, but we wanted to out to sea anyway. Luckily dolphins can be spotted year-round!

We did a bit of research leading up to our trip and booked our Whale/Dolphin Watching with Picos de Aventura. I loved that we received a small marine biology lesson half an hour before we headed out. It gave us an even bigger appreciation for the islands, the ocean, and of course all of the animals. We really enjoyed the experience!

Koen and I arrived with a rain jacket and poncho, but they had entire suits available if you wanted. I regret not putting the rubber pants on over my jeans! It started raining only 30 minutes into it and wet jeans are the worst! So if you take this tour, I recommend you are fully covered!
