The renowned Swedish underwater photographer, Magnus
Lundgren, who has visited the Azores several times to go
scuba diving with sperm whales on special permitted trips,
calls any encounter with them “thrilling and amazing.”
“They seem to be creatures from ancient times,” he says,
adding that the feeling of seeing a pod of sperm whales
surface around you with a volcano as a backdrop is as special
as whale watching gets.
THREE MORE SIGHTINGS NOT TO MISS
ON LAND IN THE AZORES:
Terra Nostra Gardens on the island of São Miguel (the
Azores’ largest island) are a veritable garden of Eden, with
over 2,000 species of endemic and introduced plants brought
from countries with similar climates to the Azores. Endemic
to New Zealand, the red-flowered Pohutuka-wa tree grows
faster and larger here than its native land. Make time to dip in
the gardens’ orange-tinted, naturally-warm mineral pools, with
water temperatures that range between 95 and 104 degrees.
Lagoa des Sete Cidades is probably the most photographed
sight on São Miguel, with twin crater lakes in distinctly
different shades of green and blue occupying the top of a
dormant volcano that you can drive to for incredible views.
Peter’s Cafe Sport in Horta on the island of Faial is a legendary
bar among the yacht set and well worth visiting for a pint
and to mingle with sailing captains and crew while ogling
the eclectic decor dominated by sailing flags from around
the world.
