Today is an absolutely perfect day for whale watching and swimming with dolphins in São Miguel. The sea is calm, the sky is blue, the water is warm and crystal clear and there are plenty of animals around for us to see. Following are a few of our photos taken from aboard our catamaran this morning. Among our different boats we sighted common dolphins, sperm whales, Risso’s dolphins and loggerhead turtles, including one large individual with a missing flipper.

In the afternoon we had two boats for swimming with dolphins and one for whale watching. This time they sighted even more sperm whales as well as Atlantic spotted dolphins. Photos from the afternoon:
