An experience to remember - Good skipper who with information from the spotters went very active looking for the dolphins and could sail very well. The Guide who accompanied us knew very well what he was talking about and had no trouble answering questions at all. The dolphins are treated with enormous respect, as they should be. We were lucky to have several successful attempts at swimming.

Wonderful Experience! - The guides were amazing and you could tell they had a lot of experience. They will do what they can to give you a great chance at seeing the dolphins up close in the water while also respecting the dolphins and making sure they are not stressed.

Amazing Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience - We got taken out and dropped off in among the dolphins. It was a fantastic experience, and the whole thing felt completely safe and comfortable. Would definitely do it again!

A fantastic experience - Our Guide (a young woman) was very knowledgeable and very careful to explain every detail accurately. The tour was really fun, we saw lots of dolphins and they made us dive into the water in groups of 2 to avoid scaring them and letting them escape. We bathed in several places where there were groups of dolphins. I would have preferred the "swims" to last longer, but actually the Guide pushed us to change places to find the dolphins that inevitably escaped again. Fun ride on the dinghy. Recommendation, I would do it again the next day. Price consistent with experience

An experience worthy of the big blue - Unforgettable experience, we had the opportunity to swim 3 times with dolphins that we could observe very closely. The attendants were very friendly and concerned that one fully experience. Have not hesitated to take the time , find the best spot to swim with the most dolphins and close to them. I highly recommend it. Many thanks to skyper Miguel and the accompanying biologist.

Incredible Dolphin Swim Experience with Picos de Aventura! - My fiancé and I had the most amazing time swimming with dolphins off the coast of São Miguel with Picos de Aventura! Our guide Antonio and captain Miguel were outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about what they do. We were thrilled to encounter three different species of dolphins: spotted, bottlenose, and common. Swimming alongside these magnificent creatures was an unforgettable experience! If you're looking for an incredible adventure in the Azores, I highly recommend Picos de Aventura. It was truly a dream come true!

Amazing. - An unforgettable experience. Inés our instructor was very nice and attentive, communicated with us in English as there were people who did not know Spanish, but at all times she worried if we had understood everything. We boarded 8 people in the zodiac. We make 2 dives (those that are contemplated). We got to see a group of dolphins in both. They worried if we had managed to see the dolphins and direct you in the water to see them, in case we could not see anything perform another dive (it was not the case). Then we took a walk where they explained facts and curiosities of the dolphins we had seen. We were approximately 2h into the activity as we were lucky to see the dolphins at the first. 100% recommended.
