Swimming with Dolphins in Terceira Island
Terceira, Portugal
In the Azores you have the chance to swim alongside the dolphins for an up-close look in perfect symbiosis with their natural behaviour and with the environment around us. Prepare to be impressed by the deep blue sea, the curiosity of the dolphins and the crystalline waters that surround the island. In a context of full respect to animals, we always seek the perfect balance between an unforgettable experience and the preservation of natural resources.
Description
Your experience begins with a briefing in which you will be given all the advice on interaction with dolphins and ways of behaving in the sea in order to make the most of this experience. We will make a brief trip to meet these friendly animals, then, its time for the interaction, the whole process will be carefully evaluated to ensure that the animals are comfortable and available to share their habitat with us.
