4.Terceira Island Whale Watching and Jeep Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 27 reviews · 8 hours · from $265

Terceira whale watching and jeep tour in the Azores, with small-boat sightings, off-road tracks, lagoon stops, and a homemade lunch.

“We were greeted by Rubin at the ship's ramp with another couple from the cruise, jumped into the jeep and we were off. First stop, whale watching. We not only saw whales, but dolphins, a loggerhead turtle and a portuguese man o' war and more dolphins! And that was only the start...I can't image a single place on the island we didn't see plus we had a wonderful outside picnic of local dishes and beverages. When we finally got back to the ship, it was late afternoon and I can't image a better way to discover the Azores!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 24 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $84

Terceira whale and dolphin watching from Angra do Heroísmo, with a spotter, hidrophone, and a sighting guarantee for at least one species.

“It was a great trip on a small open boat. Our guide, Raquel a marine biologist was excellent. She was very informative and was sure to see that everyone could spot the dolphins or had any questions. We saw three different species of dolphins. Unfortunately we did not see any whales, however that is how is goes sometimes. The ocean was a little choppy that day but that made the boat ride all the more exciting. Great trip, great guide and a great ride. We would definitely recommend.”

6.Whale Watching and Jeep Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 10 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $270

Whale watching by Angra do Heroísmo, then an off-road Jeep tour plus an outdoor lunch with local flavors and drinks.

“Esperienza whalewatching molto bella, Dopo siamo stati a pranzo in un un'area picnic attrezzata, i ragazzi hanno cucinato della carne ottima, tempo e pazienza spesi per una bella e nuova alternativa rispetto al solito ristorante, molto più friendly e in tema con il posto, spazio aperto, natura e gente del posto, condivisione e simpatia! Il giro in jeap però è stato però breve di conseguenza, non abbiamo visto le varie mete inteseanti come il vulcano e i giardini, niente trekking ... solo un giro in macchina dell'isola verso il ritorno. Consigliato Ma DIVIDERE LE DUE ESPERIENZE PER AVERE IL TEMPO NECESSARIO,”

7.Whale Watching + Island Goats / Water4fun

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $84

Whale watching off Terceira, plus an Ilhéus das Cabras day with guided snorkeling and sea-cave swim spots, run in small groups by Water4fun.

“Had a great experience with this company. The captain and guide were very knowledgeable, patient, pleasant and spoke English very well (although I am also Portuguese). Our guide also spoke Spanish which was nice. The boat was very clean and comfortable (and I have to add, the music on board was great too). The Islets are so interesting to see and so massive, definitely worth the trip just to see that. Also had a chance to see some whales and dolphins. Seeing them in the wild and in their natural habitat is nothing like seeing them in captivity in some "show".”
