Rank : 9.3 (average on 11 votes)

Coordinates : 37.926867,-25.645418 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Sperm whales, dolphins, sea turtles, (sightings possible only by boats that molleggiano on site with staff) landscapes completely original these are volcanic islands, flora, great for diving enthusiasts.

Recommended equipment : from wide-angle pushed for landscapes to telephoto (at least 400) when you go out to sea for whale watching

Best months : whale watching all year, recommended spring summer climatic conditions

How to get there : with any flight from Italy, you have to change to Lisbon and then directly to the islands last you the flight Lisbon islands about 2.30, about 1300 KM

Visits : It is absolutely islands visited with guides local contact or affiatando in their cars

Notes : the island with the main airport in Sao Miguel, is the most tourist gets to say as they are not present or discos on local entertainment, the other islands are more basic and more naturalistic. There is absolutely no mass tourism, but a destination for surfers and lovers of natura.Si said to be the only place in the world where you can spot whales just 20 km from the shore aboard a boat. Unfortunately, my journey has given me only two days of photo opportunities due to bad weather, (and when we say bad weather you can just stay in a hotel), but in two days I managed to spot and photograph the whales). Islands are all of volcanic origin and then the landscapes are of primordial beauty (the first Jurassic Park was filmed on the island of Sao Miguel). My vote is unfortunately based on what little I could do and see, as mentioned above due to bad weather. I also recommend only for a day visit to Lisbon, a city with incredible beauty beautiful photographic inspiration, the famous tram colored typical to many historical landmarks.
