In the morning, we went to the east, to try to find some whales. The catamarans spotted a big group of striped dolphins very active. And later the common dolphins approached us to show us the newborns.
Also one of the small boats managed to see fin whales, a mum and a calf.

In the afternoon, we spotted blue whale, the biggest animal in the
world! This one was a bit difficult to see because it was taking a long time to
appear on the surface. At the end, with patience, we could see the blue whale.

Then, we decided to go for the dolphins and we found a group of common dolphins, and these ones were great to see because they were going close to the boats to have a look at us.
Such a good whale watching day in the Atlantic Ocean, Açores, Ponta Delgada.
