In Pico Island, we started with a male sperm whale who was in a dive of about an hour. Then we went to see two female sperm
whales. One of them we called “White head” and she was with a calf.
Then we went to see a group of Risso’s dolphins socializing and we leave far
away from the shore to see pilot whales that were more active than normal. And
on the way back we found two different groups of spotted dolphins with many
babies. It was another beautiful day on Pico!

Instead of going along the coast like we did
lately we headed southwards to find Common Dolphins and Sperm Whales far away
from shore. With our hydrophone, we heard their clicks. This was leading us the
way and suddenly two of them appeared from the depths to swim synchronously
side by side. Some whale watchers also managed to see some Bottlenose dolphins.

On our second tour, we encountered again Common Dolphins on all our boats. Some could
enjoy two groups like from our Catamaran where we could observe their
beautifully designed colorful bodies leaping over the waves and some calves as
well. One zodiac was at the right time at the right place to witness how
Sowerby’s Beaked whales breach. What a show! The ocean is always good for nice
surprises and you never know what you’re going to see.
