GEOTOURISM - VISIT THE VOLCANOES
The Azorean archipelago is of volcanic origin and in many locations it is possible to detect traces of recent eruptions. We offer a variety of experiences, he winding landscape is characteristic and unique and the volcanic activity has created a scenery covered by varied and dense vegetation.
Concerning guests’ preferences Futurismo has prepared mixed tours so that people can enjoy both land and sea. For instance guests can do whale watching in the morning and a jeep safari or a walking tour in the afternoon.We can also prepare tours and packages specially created for guests preferences.
WHALE WATCHING
With 23 years of experience Futurismo is a pioneer and leader in whale and dolphin watching. Year-round we organise daily trips of about three hours each. You can book a morning tour or afternoon tour on one of our different types of vessels. All our tours are preceded by a briefing in which a marine biologists explains the historical background of whale hunting and its conversion to whale watching. The briefing also includes information about species which may be sighted, rules of observation and respect and safety aboard. During a whale watching tour there is always a chance of seeing many other marine species such as turtles, shark, rays and seabirds (mainly Cory's shearwaters, Great shearwaters, Common terns and yellow legged seagulls).
Swimming with dolphins is a wonderful way to visit the dolphins in their natural habitat. This activity is carried out in small groups using one of our zodiac boats. Before the boat leaves one of our marine biologists gives a briefing to explain the swimming is done while respecting the dolphins. Futurismo provides the mask, snorkel and wetsuit so that all you need to bring is a towel and your camera. As you enter the water you are surrounded by clear blue water and you have the opportunity of watching the dolphins gracefully glide by you can watch them as well as hear them, a beautiful memory that is guaranteed to stay with you.
SUNSET TOUR
In the late afternoon, when the sun starts lowering towards the horizon Futurismo gives you the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the sea and coast during a relaxed boat tour. On this trip of about two hours we follow the west coast of the island until we reach Mosteiros and its wonderful islets and lava formations. Here you can enjoy the sunset while tasting a selection Azorean wines and cheeses.
A full day tour starts in Ponta Delgada at 09:00 am with a whale watching tour of about three hours. After the whale watching we go to Vila Franca do Campo and eat lunch at a local restaurant with a view over the harbour and the islet. You have the option of different meals of fish or meat (vegetarian is also available), and a drink and coffee. After lunch we go to Ilhéu de Vila Franca (Vila Franca Islet) by boat and swim in the lagoon (volcanic crater) inside the islet. Futurismo provides snorkeling equipment for you to use. At the islet there are a lot of flowers, birds, crabs, fish and a few curious lizards to see. Several birds are nesting here, like the common tern and Cory´s shearwater, but also rock pigeons, buzzards and gulls. The islet is an natural reserve that is protected and therefore the number of people that can visit the islet each day is limited.
