Established in 1996 by a local family, Aqua Açores offers visitors a rare glimpse into the world of enigmatic cetaceans and abundant marine wildlife living in the Azorean waters.
Aqua Açores continues as a family business and strives to offer high quality whale watching, based first and foremost on the welfare of the animals and their environment.
We are passionate about our island and culture. We hope to inspire people from different cultures and backgrounds to share the wonders of our ocean, so as to bring awareness in order to protect the home we share with these beautiful animals.

Through our work we seek to:
- provide our customers an unforgettable experience;
- promote environmental awareness, in order to motivate our clients and all who visit us for the conservation of cetaceans and their environment;
- collaborate with researchers and promote the knowledge about whales and dolphins to the general public.
