Saw dolphins, had a swim!
Private charter 2.5 hours for Vukan on June 28, 20262 adults

We booked the afternoon trip departing at 16:30 and had a great time from start to finish. The crew was friendly, professional and genuinely helpful the whole way through. Their on-shore spotter found a mixed pod of dolphins and Bryde’s whales quickly, and we set off towards them on roughly a 30 minute run. We were a bit unlucky with the whale itself. By the time we arrived, the Bryde’s whale only surfaced and blew once before submerging, so we never got a close look. The dolphins more than made up for it though. We ended up completely surrounded by a pod of bottlenose dolphins playing around the boat, and we came away with several great photos. Captain and hostess Eva were both excellent, and Eva even took professional photos of the trip for us, which was a lovely touch. On Tales runs a professional, specialized whale watching operation. Their booth was easy to find once we got directions at Calheta Marina, and they handled everything spotlessly. Highly recommend to anyone looking to maximize their chances of spotting whales and dolphins in this area.

Experiencing these incredible creatures up close in their natural habitat is truly the highlight of our private dolphin watching tours. Our expert guides passionately curate these luxury marine experiences to be both educational and unforgettable.
