    Amazing! Our guide Nuno was great- he took us to the whale tour boat (the staff are amazing and explain everything that’s happening and info about the whales and dolphins) we saw three sperm whales and so many dolphins- it was amazing! Take anti sickness tablets if you suffer with sea sickness, as it can get rough. Our guide then picked us up and took us for lunch and then drove us around the volcanos and mountains. Highly recommend

    We had 2 tours with Get Your Guide and the guide was the same - Hugo. We spent an excellent time. Hugo has a great knowledge of Azores, we leaned a lot about islands. Time was well managed, we had enough time to see everything without rush. The choice of local restaurants for lunch was very good! Thank you.

    Whale trip was great, very knowledgeable, we saw lots of dolphins and a whale! Can get a bit choppy, bring your sea legs. The tour with Hugo was A++, absolutely perfect. Very knowledgeable of the island, perfect English spoken, lunch was amazing. Couldn't recommend this trip any more, just perfect.
