In São Miguel we had a day
with our resident dolphins and whales.
We encountered a big group of sperm whales, bottlenose dolphins, common dolphins and Risso’s dolhpins.
From all our
different boats and tours throughout the day we had some really memorable
moments with these species.
The sperm whales put on a bit of a show in the
afternoon and several times we could see them breaching (jumping out of the
water) and grouping up to socialise.

The dolphins were also very social and curious as usual, and to make today’s sigtings even better we had great weather that reminded us that summer is beginning.
