Adventure Coordinators Insider Tip:
May through September offers the best weather to hike in the Azores. The Azores is perhaps one of the best places on the planet to spot whales and dolphins. Blue whales can be seen during the April / May migration season. Female sperm whales and their calves can be seen from May to October.
