As a guide, return flight costs from UK are generally between £290 and £370 pp including taxes. As soon as you have reserved a space on a tour, you should contact Tap Air Portugal to book these (0845 601 0932 or www.tap-airportugal.co.uk). We are based at Horta and the airport code is HOR.

Spaces on the Short Break Tours have limited availability. Single room supplement is £50 pp per trip, and length so if you wish to have your own room please tick next to the relevant choice, on the booking form. If you would like us to try and match you with another guest to share a room, again please tick the relevant choice. We will have to charge you the supplement if this is not possible but in most cases we are able to find someone for you to share with. The deposit is £125 pp and cheques should be made payable to "Whale Watch Azores". Your tour balance is due 70 days before departure.

Full details of our holidays are given in our brochure but above prices include accommodation for the tour, six days whale and dolphin watching, 3 meals per day (excluding 2 evening meals and shore day lunches), tea and coffee, airport transfers in Azores, slide show and talks, local whale watch taxes and our services as tour guides. On Short Break Tours we include 3 days whale and dolphin watching and 1 evening meal (plus shore day lunch) is not included.

During 9 night tours we average 6-7 species (3-6 on the Short Break Tours) of whale and dolphin, including sperm whales and several species of dolphin. Air temperatures range from 17-26C during the season with sunshine and rainy days expected throughout the summer. We are at sea for around 7-8 hrs each sea day and each tour has 1-3 shore days (depending on tour and weather) so guests can explore the islands. “Whales and Trails Tours” have a fairly even mix of whale watching and walking, at a gentle pace, along various back roads and trails on the islands.

Flights are not included in the tour price or things of a personal nature such as sightseeing on the islands, souvenirs, personal laundry, gratuities and canned and bottled drinks. It is a condition of travel with us that all clients must have insurance that covers them for personal accident and death (the latter to an equivalent of £15,000 UKP/ 20,000€), repatriation and health expenses. Other cover such as loss of bags, cancellation, delays etc. is strongly recommended.
