June was another great month for whale watching in São Miguel. This month we saw 8 cetacean species:

• Common dolphins (Delphinus delphis)
• Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)
• Striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba)
• Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis)
• Risso’s dolphins (Grampus griseus)
• Pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhyncus)
• Beaked whale (Mesoplodon sp.)

This month is also turning out to be really good so far. Yesterday we already saw 8 species throughout the day!
