Important to keep in mind is that you are not guaranteed to see anything, although highly likely to see at least dolphins during the excursion.
There are quite many operators offering whale watching on Azores, departing from various towns. I went with Terra Azul (https://www.azoreswhalewatch.com/) departing from Vila Franca Do Campo for a three hour trip priced just around 60€ for one person.
I did not expect the three hours to pass so quickly, and what I also did not expect was the emotions rushing through me at every sighting of marine life. It was really worth the money, the guide made the best to inform us of the species we saw and their charateristics. We were lucky on that day back in June 2018 and spotted various types of both dolphins and whales, including a fin whale (second largest whale in the Ocean). Below would be my impression from this wonderful 3 hours tour.
