THE SECRET TO A WINNING TEAM
-
We'll make you feel at home in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean
We speak English, Portuguese, French and Italian. More important than that, we
love sharing unforgettable whale and dolphin encounters with our guests.
-
We'll introduce you to the local culture
Half of the people in our team come from the Azores. Michael Costa,
our Head Skipper, is co-founder of our company.
-
You'll be surrounded by knowledgeable, experienced people
We are well educated and skilled. Every one of us knows exactly how to do the job.
We have met the whales and dolphins of the 5 continents; you are likely to enjoy
some of our big stories and we promise you will have your own ones to tell back home.
You will of course learn a lot about cetaceans
(this is how whales, dolphins and porpoises are collectively called).
-
We'll share with you the care and respect for our beloved animal friends
The whales and dolphins are the only stars. And we can only think of one
stage for them: Nature.
