The company was founded in 2012 by Filipe Ávila. He has a great passion for the Azores which results to the best and most authentic experiences for customers.
Filipe has been working in tourism for quite some time now, guiding visitors, uncovering secrets and telling stories. By chance, he met Pedro – from Portugal mainland, passionate for the Azores and a “whale geek” – who he found to be the perfect partner to start this company.
Filipe mostly works on land, and Pedro on the ocean, which is the perfect combination.The mission is simple: to provide the best experiences possible. We wish to show everyone who joins us our knowledge and passion for the islands.
