Swimming with dolphins in the Azores
Being in the water in close contact with these amazing creatures is a unique and breath taking experience.
Relax and enjoy this wonderful dream in the blue ocean! Observe the dolphins with all the respect they deserve and make your dream come true!
This activity depends on the weather condition and also on the dolphins' presence and their disposition for swimming with humans.
Only 2 swimmers are allowed to go in the water at the same time, and never in the presence of calves or dolphins engaged in feeding activities.
Before entering in the water the skipper and his crew will explain you how to conduct during your ballet with the dolphins - sometimes you need to be very patient as the dolphins have to be motivated by their own curiosity.....
There are 5 different dolphin species in the Azores that you are allowed to swim with:
the Bottlenose dolphin , the Common dolphin, the Spotted Atlantic dolphin, the Striped dolphin, and the Risso dolphin.
The authorisation to start swimming will always be given by the skipper, based on his experience of the sea conditions - your physical condition - and the behaviour of the dolphins on the surface.
Diving gear is provided for free for this activity.
