Seeking recommendations for a whale watching excursion while on Sao Miguel. I prefer an open boat and a company with ecological concerns.

My family who lives in Ponta Delgada recommends “Best Spot Azores Dive Center”.

Thanks Carl, but it looks like they do only dive trips. I don't see anything about whale watching.

Sorry about that one. Our family in Santa Maria have their own boats, so taking a tour isn’t something we would ever need to do. We circled the island of Santa Maria last August and saw plenty of dolphins and flying fish.
There are multiple vendors at the Portas do Mar in Ponta Delgada. Because the weather can change quickly, I would wait until you get there and choose one without pre-booking. For now, try searching this website:

TripAdvisor will also be a good site to look at reviews.
