Santa Maria - Azores

Exclusive: Sardine Run like - in the Middle of the Atlantic - Azores

Adventure “Sardine-Run Style” in the Middle of the Atlantic

Azores – Exclusively with Expert-Tours

Welcome to an ocean adventure so unexpected, so wild, and so exclusive that most people don’t even know it exists.
Wrong assumption: the Sardine Run fever doesn’t only happen in South Africa – it also comes alive right in the middle of the Atlantic, off the island of Santa Maria.
Baitballs, predators, open ocean, pure energy. And all of it exclusively with us.

We bring over 20 years of real Sardine Run expertise from Africa to Europe – and open the door to a natural phenomenon that very few people ever experience this way.

Where the Atlantic Awakens – Sardine-Run Magic, Azores Style

Picture this:

Open ocean.
Deep-blue water.
A baitball erupting beneath you.
Mobulas slicing through shimmering sunlight.
Tuna firing upward like torpedoes.
Dolphins appearing beside the boat in an instant.
A whale breaching on the horizon.
And maybe – if the Atlantic smiles –
a whale shark emerging from the blue.

All of it infused with the unmistakable Sardine-Run pulse:
raw, unpredictable, intense – and absolutely unforgettable.

Exclusive Boats – All Day, Just for Us

Our boats are 100% private, reserved exclusively for our group – the entire day.
No crowds. No pressure. No compromises.

We spend 5 to 6 hours daily on the open ocean – searching, reading, and feeling the sea.
This exclusivity is the key to success – and yes, it comes at a cost.
Our calculation is completely different from standard dive centers.

Even at the dive sites, we are often the only ones in the water.
Just you, the ocean – and whatever the Atlantic decides to reveal.

The Experience – Wild, Real, Alive

With a bit of luck, you may encounter:

• Mobulas – elegant, fast, gliding in formation

• Tuna – explosive, powerful, electrifying

• Sharks – majestic silhouettes in the deep blue

• Baitballs – pulsating, chaotic, full of hunting energy

• Whale sharks – gentle giants of the open ocean

• Dolphins – social, playful, hunting

• Open Ocean Freedom – the feeling of absolute liberty

Every day is different.
Every moment is real.
And every encounter belongs to you – not to some postcard.
