Fertile and healthy whales

In our two tours of today in São Miguel Island (morning and afternoon), we were with the same species, bottlenose dolphins and fin whales. The sightings of the group of bottlenose dolphin were really similar, they were the same group morning and afternoon and like always they were very curious and coming to have a look to our boats.

But the fin whale sightings were completely different, in the morning our catamaran was with a big whale and her small calf, so we can say that the whales are still fertile, also our zodiacs had the luck to see one fin whale going close to them and opening the mouth to take in some food. 

We had a breathtaking moment when a Fin whale feeding passes under our boat! You can check this moment in our Facebook Page. A short video filmed by our guest Tomas Melus.

Then in the afternoon, our waters were full of fin whales, around at least that we saw 7 a bit spread out, giving us the chance to choose with wich one we wanted to be with.
