What to expect

Join a marine birdwatching tour with expert biologists and naturalists to discover hidden places where to observe sea birds and coastal colonies, capturing their wild behaviour while at sea and enjoying some incredible views of the ocean.

After meeting at the Marina for checking-in, your experience will start with a short introduction about the bird species you'll be able to observe locally, about their migrations and behavioural patterns, plus onboard safety rules. You'll thus board on a boat to travel the coast amd observe some known colonies, the shorebirds and all wildlife at the protected nature reserve of Vila Franca do Campo. After, you'll head out to sea looking for other species to admire thanks to the lookouts providing you with information and directions via a VHF radio. Don't hesitate to ask your guide what you're most curious about.

Many birds find an oasis in the Azores Islands to breed and raise their babies or a refuge. Marine birds can be observed there yearlong, especially during spring and autumun, with the arrival of migrants and vagrants. Don't miss such a unique opportunity!
