Snorkel with

Hammerhead Sharks

Around Pico and Faial, we have discovered several areas where smooth hammerhead sharks regularly gather.


Our Hammerhead Shark Snorkeling Excursion takes approximately 3–4 hours. During the trip, we actively search for the sharks. Once we locate them, we use controlled chumming to keep the animals interested and close to the boat.


When conditions are suitable, we take you into the water using a special observation technique designed to minimise disturbance to the sharks. The aim is to experience these remarkable animals in a respectful and controlled way while allowing them to behave naturally.

Please plan a minimum stay of 4 nights on Pico.


Hammerhead shark excursions depend strongly on wind, waves, visibility and sea conditions, so having several days available gives us the flexibility to choose the best possible day for the trip.


As with all wildlife encounters, shark sightings can never be guaranteed.

We operate this experience in small groups with a maximum of 8 guests.


Fewer people on board means more space, more personal attention from our guides, better water time and a higher-quality wildlife experience.
