\nOur whale days are continuing all throughout April. So far this month we have encountered whales during 100% of our tours! This is the time of the year that we see the most species, including the large baleen whales that are migrating through the Azores. Today we encountered the second largest, the fin whale<\/a>. In the morning we encountered 3 fin whales<\/a> travelling together and in the afternoon 2 of them were still around. From a couple of our boats our clients had the lucky opportunity of being up close and personal with the whales as they became curious and approached the boats a few times. During these rare close-up encounters you get to really appreciate the size of these great whales. We also had some nice dolphin encounters today, with bottlenose dolphins<\/a> in the morning (the famous group of Bubblemaker) and common dolphins<\/a> as well as bottlenose dolphins<\/a> in the afternoon. Some clients also spotted loggerhead turtles<\/a> throughout the day and in the afternoon a few clients with a keen eye also spotted a shark.<\/div>\n
