Today again, the sperm whaleswere in the same area where we have been seeing them, in the east part of the
south coast of Sao Miguel island. That area is an important feeding area for
our resident whale species, today a big family was there; when day are feeding is quite exiting as they keep showing their tails when they go on their long feeding dives; we have at least five
tails to check in our catalogue! As soon as we know something we will infor you

Even thought
the trips are long, they really worth it, as many whales are around, surfacing
and diving at different times.

| Whenever we can we remove debris such as plastic and nets out of the water. Sadly this is one of the biggest threats to marine life |
