Whale watching: In the Atlantic, Pico Island is the meeting point of Cetaceans. The rich food-chain attracts several species during all year, having already been observed 24 different ones.
Sperm whales are present during all year, while the huge Baleen Whales pass through these waters between the months of April and June. The Blue Whale is the biggest animal ever lived on earth and to meet one of them is of breath taking. In all maritime watching tours one can find dolphins.
In Madalena and Lajes do Pico there are several operators of whale and dolphins watching tours.
