"It is important to me to contribute to the sustainable development of tourism and to create a platform for research and nature and wildlife conservation."
Frank Wirth, Founder of Pico Sport The islands of the Azores are shaped by the peaks of the Mid-Atlantic ridge, surrounded by the endless Deep Blue. The archipelago forms a meeting place for rich marine life. Deep-sea currents transport nutrient-rich water from the depth. Microbes thrive and the food pyramid explodes. Therefore, whales, dolphins, sharks, turtles, mobula rays and pelagic fish are a
bundant in these waters. The Azores have been renowned for years as a top destination for whale and dolphin watching, as up to 27 species (approximately 25% of the world's known species) have been identified off the coast. The Islands provide a natural sanctuary in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean for both migrating and resident species. S***m whales are the most commonly sighted whale species off the Azores and can be seen all year round. Apart from viewing whales and dolphins, the islands have only recently been discovered for excellent diving and encounters with sharks also. Pico Sport Lda. has been offering whale and dolphin watching from Pico Island since 1996. Join us and discover for yourself what the Azores have to offer! You will not be disappointed.

Have you ever image to see this iconic species? 🦌❄️🌨
Reindeer are fascinating creatures, especially in the context of Norway. In Norway, reindeer are a vital part of the indigenous Sámi culture. The Sámi people have been herding reindeer for centuries, relying on them for food, clothing, and other essentials.
These robust animals are well-adapted to the harsh Arctic conditions of Norway. They have unique features like specialized hooves for digging through snow to find food, and their thick fur provides insulation against the cold. Reindeer herding is not just a tradition but also a way of life for the Sámi people, and it plays a crucial role in the region's ecosystem.
During certain times of the year, you might even witness the spectacular sight of reindeer migration across the stunning landscapes of Norway. It's a reminder of the deep connection between nature and the people who call this beautiful country home.

Have you ever seen a risso dolphin underwater? 🐬 ✨ This is one of the 5 species of dolphin you can see and swim with in Pico Island 🤿 🎇 Risso’s dolphins are these cool marine creatures that you can find swimming in oceans around the world. They’re pretty unique-looking, with a robust body, no beak, and a lot of scars on their skin from all the adventures they’ve had in the deep blue sea. Here are some fun facts about them: Distinct Appearance: Risso’s dolphins are mostly gray, but as they age, they get whiter, and those scars I mentioned earlier become more prominent. So, older ones can look almost completely white! Size Matters: They’re not small, but they’re not the biggest dolphins out there either. On average, they can reach around 10-12 feet in length. Dive Masters: Risso’s dolphins are known for their impressive diving skills. They can go deep, like really deep, sometimes over 1,000 meters! That’s like diving off a skyscraper, but in water. Diet Diversification: When it comes to food, they’re pretty open-minded. They eat a variety of stuff, including squid and fish. So, you can say they have a diverse palate. Where to Find Them: You can spot Risso’s dolphins in different parts of the world. They like the warmer waters, so you might come across them in places like the Mediterranean, the Pacific, and even the Atlantic. #azores #azoresilsands #islasazores #azoren #diving #scubadiving #diveazores #portugal #whalewatching #sharkdiving #freediving #dolphins #picoisland

Did you know that the Azores is a popular destination for sperm whales? 🐳 These majestic creatures are the largest toothed whales in the world and can grow up to 60 feet long. They are known for their unique, box-shaped heads and their ability to dive to great depths in search of their favorite food: squid 🦑 🌋Sperm whales in the Azores are a popular attraction for tourists and researchers alike. These creatures are fascinating to observe, and their behavior provides important insights into their biology and ecology. Researchers are particularly interested in studying the communication and social behavior of sperm whales, which are known to have complex vocalizations and tight-knit family groups. If you’re planning a trip to the Azores, consider taking a whale watching tour to see these amazing creatures up close. Remember to respect their space and follow the guidelines set by our crew to minimize disturbance to the whales. By learning about and appreciating sperm whales in the Azores, we can help ensure their survival for generations to come.

Pico’s Vineyards 🍇… Explore the lands where one of the best wines in Portugal is born 🍷🇵🇹 Consult us for our excursions in land 🌋 The basalt rock found all across Pico has been used for centuries to construct the drystone walls for which the island has become famous. These form a complex network which cover a large proportion of the island, providing shelter for the vineyards. The walls (“paredes” or “murinhos”) and the vineyard plots they cover (“currais”) have been recognized as an important part of human history, and were registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004. The type of dark stone found here is also present on the island of Terceira, where the rounded, smooth, biscuit-like shape gives rise to the name of its wine denomination, Biscoitos. Volcanic soils are known to produce grapes (and therefore wines) with higher acidity than most other soils, meaning that Pico’s grapes are typically well-suited to produce fortified wines, or at least wines intended for longer-term cellaring. Because of this, Pico wines benefit from a balance of acidity and sugars typically not achieved in other Azores vineyards.
