Very adventurous! Saw a few dozen dolphins. The crew was highly experienced and nice. But compared to doing this somewhere like Hawaii, this isn't an easy task in the Azores. You have to be quick to jump in and spot them swimming by (easier from the boat) and the seas may be rough. If you like adventure, go for it. If you're not sure, maybe just do the "watching" version on the bigger boat.

Quite an experience. You think there are 5 or 6 dolphins around you and when you dive, you find more than 30 swimming with you. They pass by you and look at you as if to play. Is incredible. The Picos de Aventura companions were incredible. 1000 x 1000 recommended

The brief moments in which we were able to be close to the dolphins were incredible, we really enjoyed watching them in and out of the water. It was a very rewarding experience.

Great !! The excursion is truly based on the wild side. Firstly there is the observation side which lasted 40 minutes for us to find the dolphins. In the meantime we had the chance to come across other species such as a flying fish. The conditions allowed us to dive 3 times each and to see a total of around twenty dolphins in their natural environment. On the way back we even took the time to collect trash from the ocean.

An incredible experience! After 45 minutes, we found the dolphins and were able to dive to observe them in their natural environment 3 times! The guides were great, we even took the time to clean the ocean by collecting drifting plastic bags as we passed...

The experience was incredible! We had the opportunity to be in the water with common dolphins. They provided us with a snorkeling mask and tube and also let us take our GoPro into the water (only on the second dive).
Inês and Natália are very friendly and fun, they make the experience even better.
Everything was well explained to us and we were given coats so we wouldn't be cold on the trip. And at the end we were able to use the showers with hot water to warm up.
I recommend it 100%, just don't expect to swim with the dolphins for a long time, they just pass by us!

My boyfriend and I used this company for the whale watching and swimming with dolphins tour and both were incredible thanks to the picos de aventura team. All of the members were very friendly and gave clear and informative briefings and descriptions throughout the tours. The dolphin swimming tour was especially well done as the team was very clearly respectful of the animals in the way they carried out the activity. I could not recommend this company more.
