An Azores holiday isn't complete without a boat trip in search of whales. Join marine biologists on board a speedboat – with a maximum capacity of 14 – and sail from Ponta Delgada into the waters off São Miguel. Get the lowdown on the 28 cetacean species in these seas, where hopefully you'll spot whales and dolphins during the three-hour experience.
