Discover what's new at CW Azores!
Our base and boats are located in the touristic marina of Madalena do Pico, right across the ferry station that connects you to the other islands. Come visit us in Pico!
CW Azores was founded in 2007 by Dania Tesei, Enrico Villa and Michael Costa.
The company, based in Pico, is an official Whale Watching operator in the Azores (Licence 3/2008), PADI Dive Resort, SSI Dive Centre and a registered Travel and Tourism Agency in Portugal (RNAVT: 7277).
Tour duration is 3-4 hours.
A tour is considered unsuccessful when we do not see any cetaceans (no whales, no dolphins), in which case you can board again for free or have your money back.
For safety reasons, our boat tours are unsuitable to pregnant women, people with medical conditions such as a bad back or osteoporosis and to children under 3 years old.
By law, no more than 2 people can be in the water with the dolphins at any one time.
While you do not need to be a good swimmer to enjoy snorkelling with the dolphins, confidence with mask, snorkel and fins are key to success.
All dives include Divemaster, weights, belt, tanks.
The Princess Alice Expedition includes a pack lunch.
For night dives, torches are not included, but can be rented.
IMPORTANT: Shark diving and Princess Alice require a check dive with us, a minimum certification level of PADI Advanced Open Water Diver (or equivalent) and at least 50 logged dives. These requirements are strict and exceptions cannot be made.
If needed, snorkelling gear is included in price (mask, snorkel, fins, wetsuit or shorty)
The Princess Alice Snorkelling Adventure includes gear and a pack lunch.
