Experiencing the Hawaii of Europe - Atlantic Pureness For years I spend a couple of months each summer in Pico Island/Azores to be close to the dolphins and majestic big whales in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and it is my passion to introduce you to the marine wildlife and volcanic power of the hidden islands in the middle of the sea. Let's experience together the volcanic treasures of the island and connect with the joyful gifts of the dolphins all around. We leave for the ocean by small boats (zodiacs) after a sensitive introduction and approach the sea-mammals in an observing manner. Observing local whales and experiencing the marine life is the main part of this unique trip - the island itself with the endemic plant world and volcanic traditions is the grounding part of this journey! Accommodation will be in modern bed & breakfast in the whale-village Lajes do Pico or alternatively we will share a spacious villa in nature. Are you ready to dive and dance the waves of ocean and nature? ๐Ÿ“ The trip includes 7 nights in shared double-room, transports from/to airport or ferry on arrival/departure, transport to/from ocean-trips in Lajes do Pico, 3 halfday ocean-trips with marine-biologist and cetacean-workshops, 1 fullday island tour by car or van including lunch, my personal experienced guiding in the sea and on land. I will love to welcome you and introduce you to the hidden treasures! I am currently living in Portugal and discovering amazing spots to travel. I am creating several beautiful trips to Pico island in the magic archipelago of Azores - a secret holiday spot!. I am totally flexible with the locations you want to visit in Pico since I know the island pretty well because of spending each summer in the island for a couple of years. Spring is the best season to travel there and meet the biggest whales worldwide - so let's do it, I speak Portuguese so I will become your personal translator and guide to adapt to the cultureโ— ๐Ÿ“ About the trip: I am looking for 4 TripMates (Girl/Boy) to join me on this adventure of getting to know the dolphins and whales right next to us. We will be staying in shared rooms in a luxurious big villa in the south of the island - a great location in Pico. I will meet you at the ferry terminal or in the airport so you can start falling into the holiday-modus immediately after arriving!

Welcome to Pico and Azores! We dive deeply into Atlantic scenery to connect with the treasures of the ocean and the volcanic island. Climbing the Pico mountain (2.351m) is optional, and going deep by visiting the lava-tunnels and caves gives valuable space for meditations and stillness. During the ocean-trips, we leave by small boat for the whales and dolphins in the nearby waters after having received and experienced a profound briefing about the dolphins and the ocean. We spend our time together during the activities and find privacy during the free times. Will you be with us?
