About MobyDick Tours
MobyDick Tours is one of the most experienced whale and dolphin watching operators on São Miguel, with over 23 years of certified expertise in Azorean waters. Operating from the Portas do Mar waterfront in Ponta Delgada, they run daily excursions year-round aboard the Azores' largest dedicated whale watching vessel, offering both half-day trips and full-day ocean experiences.
Their standard tours last approximately three hours and cover the rich cetacean grounds off São Miguel's south coast, where more than 20 species of whales and dolphins have been recorded. Trained marine guides provide onboard briefings about each species and the Azores' unique whaling heritage. For visitors wanting a deeper experience, MobyDick also offers extended full-day trips that combine whale watching with snorkelling at the Islet of Vila Franca do Campo.
MobyDick's standout strength is their vessel — purpose-built for stability and panoramic viewing — and their long track record of responsible whale watching practices. Their team includes experienced skippers who have logged thousands of hours in Azorean waters, giving them an unmatched ability to locate cetaceans on any given day.
