YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

Futurismo was the first company operating whale and dolphin watching in São Miguel Island. This was almost 30 years ago! The main goal is to offer the best experiences to everyone who wants to explore the Azores. We offer a lot of different tours in both São Miguel and Pico Island. The other Islands are also bookable through our partners.

RESPONSIBLE COMPANY

We respect the codes of conduct for a sustainable whale watching experience. All our skippers have years of experience in evaluating the behaviors of some of the animals. In case they feel that they are stressing the animals they will immediately cancel the tour to not harm them.
