Excellent guide and captain. They talked about the dolphins while we drank hot tea. Saw and swam with lots of dolphins.

PaulDanger

Great experience. The team is clearly respectful of the animals and we’re clear about how the animal's welfare came first. The staff on the boat were experienced and did a great job guiding the people who weren’t confident in the water. They were also very patient with all the questions that came up. Didn’t hurt that we had fortunate timing seeing the dolphins in full flying mode which is really great to witness. It was our best experience of the entire trip and the team were a big part of it

Wonderful experience, that was perfectly guided! The interaction with the animals was very respectful and we were additionally provided with a lot of information about the animals and research projects, in which Terra Azul is involved. Being in the water with dolphins is simply a unique experience. A big thank you to the Terra Azul Team!

We had a wonderful dolphin experience with Ricardo and Daniel! They made us feel very comfortable and made sure we were all having fun. It is a beautiful way to see the island from the water and to experience the dolphins up close. Seeing the dolphins underwater is a very relaxing and tranquil experience. All of the staff at Terra Azul are kind and friendly, and they were quick to respond to my questions. I highly recommend booking with them!

Knowledgeable and friendly staff - they really know their stuff, I felt really safe of the boats, the staff took good care of us and explained everything they saw. We even got to see a mother and baby sperm whale, which will stay with me as a precious memory forever.

Lifetime experience with Terra Azul. Great respect of nature and dolphin, very lucky day with great swim with atlantic spotted dolphins. At the end of the activity, very touching moment to say thank to nature for this amazing experience. well done Terra Azul team

Loved every second of the dolphin trip. Would have appreciated locating a second pod of dolphins rather than the time spent snorkelling at the end of the trip.

Mimi03NL

It was a great experience for our family of 5 (children 15, 13, 11 years old)! Good information and contact with Miguel en Alex, our hosts. It was a fun ride, and the dive into the atlantic ocean and see dolphins... Wonderful!

This was an amazing experience - the team made every thing easy from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Ronald_N

Enjoyable tour overall. Wetsuits, masks and snorkels rather cumbersome; minimal personal interaction assisting in these items. After a quick dip in the ocean to view dolphins, it didn’t seem worth it. Most enjoyable was viewing dolphins and whales from the vessel.
