Amazing Experience

Even with a rough sea, skipper Nuno and guide Vanessa were amazing. Explaining everything perfectly, making great efforts for the trip to be amazing and it culminated with an amazing Humpback Whale jumping into the air!

Nice team. We went out in April, water was a bit rough but ok. Wouldn’t recommend it with back problems though. Terra Azul provides water proof jackets but we weren’t expecting it to be that wet. Our pants, underpants, socks, shoes were completely soaked!! It...More

We saw dolphins (many) but no whales and somewhat rough seas. Circling the isla was very interesting as it was a dormant volcano. Without whale sightings, I can only give it a 4.More
