Whale watching
The Azores are incredibly popular for Whale and Dolphin watching excursions. The waters around the archipelago are home to about one third of total species of large sea animals (cetacean) of the world.
Some of the massive sea creatures can be spotted all year round, for instance sperm whales and bottlenose dolphins. The list of the annual visitors include blue whales which frolic in the off shore of the islands, which are, of course, the fabulous spot on their migration routes.
