Overview

Join a marine birding expedition with Biologists and Naturalists, to explore hidden places and observe coastal colonies, to look for the season’s birds and wild behaviour, out at sea with incredible ocean views!

Many Birds find oasis in the Azores Islands to breed and raise chicks, and as on-route refuge. Marine birds can be observed yearlong, peaking abundance in Spring and Autumn with the arrival of migrants and vagrants.
