Beautiful morning again full of sperm whales and dolphins! This
month of July has been incredibly good to see our resident whales. It’s being
amazing not only because we find them close to the island, but also they have
beautiful and natural behaviour. In the morning, for example, we saw a baby
jumping calling for its mother, but we also waited until the mother arrived and
it was the one we call “Orca”!

Apart from Orca and her baby lots of sperm
whales were around and also a group of around 10 beaked whales and a large group of common
dolphins. They were seen both from observation and swimming boats.

Turtles today were also very present relaxing
in the sun.

During the afternoon we had a lot of sun and
was very hot, so always remember to bring with a lot of sunscreen, a bottle of
water and fresh fruit. We went to the east side of the island, in front of the
Ribeira Quente where we met again our friend Orca (the same sperm whale we saw
in the morning). We were waiting to see her tail when two more sperm whales
appeared next to her. It’s always a surprise! As we prepared to leave the group
the baby of our Orca appeared, in a hurry to get close to his mother. It was a
great time to meet again after a long dive.

When we got back, we still found a large group
of Risso’s dolphins. In the middle of the
group we also noticed two very small heads… Two new-borns close to their
mothers! What a summer afternoon!
