When peering out to the bright blue ocean around Sao Miguel, it’s not uncommon to see a pod of jumping dolphins in the distance. Experience these enthusiastic creatures firsthand on a snorkel adventure in the Atlantic. Discover the natural beauty and astounding intelligence of dolphins up close and make a mammal friend.
At the marina in Ponta Delgada, you meet your guide and begin the introduction briefing. You go over the best practices to ensure both you and the animals remain comfortable and safe. With years of experience, the guide teaches you how to best respect dolphins and their environment. Enjoy the boat ride along Sao Miguel Island as you cruise towards the strategically planned lookout spot.
Once the dolphins appear, you leap into the clear ocean. Admire these smiling animals up close as they flip their fins around you. Listen to their calls underwater as they communicate via echolocation. As you snorkel in the incredibly clear water, you may even catch sight of some swimming marine life.
After a couple hours admiring these ocean mammals, board the boat and return back to the marina along the coastline. Take in the gorgeously green hills of Sao Miguel set against the blue sky. You might forget a few of the scientific terms from the day, but you won’t forget the feeling of floating alongside wild dolphins in their beautiful natural habitat.

Incredible experience, we managed to swim with dolphins 5 times. The tour group knew how to find the dolphins and get us into the water to maximise the experience. My partner bruised her body trying to climb back into the boat and they also took the time to treat the bruise upon our return to the mainland.
