As always, we have calm and good weather after the storm, which means for us an excellent sea day with many sightings.
In Pico Island, we
started our tour by seeing a group of female sperm whales, we saw 4 and one of
them with a calf, breastfeeding.

Then with Pico Mountain behind and cloudless
sky, we saw a group of spotted dolphins with quite a few calves. And in the
end, we had one of our resident group of males risso’s dolphins.

We managed to see the same species in the morning
and afternoon. So today we traveled to east to find a large group of atlantic
spotted dolphins. They were very active and full of babies. Then, some meters
from the place where we were with the dolphins, several sperm whales appeared
and we could see a lot of tails! To finish the trips we stoped to see a group of curious
common dolphins. It was a great day on
the ocean!
