Descrição
Durante esta viagem, vai ter a oportunidade de ver algumas das 28 espécies de cetáceos que já foram identificadas nas águas dos Açores. Estamos na companhia de baleias e golfinhos durante os nossos passeios de cerca de três horas de viagem de barco, mas também muitas vezes conseguimos ver tartarugas, aves e outras espécies marinhas.
Antes de iniciarmos a viagem de barco, os nossos biólogos explicam alguns pormenores sobre as espécies de cetáceos que poderemos ver, falam sobre as medidas de segurança a bordo e também como respeitamos os animais e as regras de observação no mar.
Recomendações
Para pessoas com mobilidade reduzida, grávidas, bebés e crianças até aos 8 anos, aconselhamos a marcação da viagem para observar baleias e golfinhos a bordo de um dos nossos catamarans. Por outro lado, se não está em nenhuma das condições anteriores, e procura uma experiência mais aventureira, escolha "Zodiac tours" durante a sua reserva.
Trazer roupas e calçado confortáveis, casaco, chapéu, protetor solar, água e snacks (não vendemos a bordo).
