We did not have to travel far today as we had a group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphins<\/a>, followed by some <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/bottlenose-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bottlenose dolphins<\/a> just outside the marina in Ponta Delgada, where we depart from. The common dolphins were beautiful as usual, gliding through the ocean with ease and darting back and forth in front of the bows of our boats. The bottlenose dolphins seemed more interested in feeding and they were spending little time at the surface. Later into the tour cloud and rain closed in on us so we returned to land wet, but happy with our encounters nonetheless.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DSC_0573-C\u00f3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DSC_0573-C\u00f3pia.png\" height=\"424\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DSC_0572-C\u00f3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DSC_0572-C\u00f3pia.png\" height=\"424\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\nA<i> curious common dolphin looking back at us<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DSC_0563-C\u00f3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DSC_0563-C\u00f3pia.png\" height=\"640\" width=\"424\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Face to face with a common dolphin<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DSC_0567-C\u00f3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DSC_0567-C\u00f3pia.png\" height=\"424\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Watching the common dolphins from the bow of our catamaran<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DSC_0594-C\u00f3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/DSC_0594-C\u00f3pia.png\" height=\"424\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>A group of bottlenose dolphins returning from a dive<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/ZodiacSong.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/ZodiacSong.png\" height=\"424\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Two of our boats out on the water<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Zodiac-C\u00f3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Zodiac-C\u00f3pia.png\" height=\"424\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Greatskua1-C\u00f3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Greatskua1-C\u00f3pia.png\" height=\"424\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<i>A <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/great-skua-fact-sheet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">great skua<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This afternoon we went out on the water to start the new year with some nice dolphin encounters.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12143,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[3,10,4,79],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.2 -
