In the morning we had an amazing trip observing 5 different species. We started with at least four <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/fin-whale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fin whales<\/a> and one <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/01\/blue-whale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blue whale<\/a>, surfacing really close to our boats. After a while, we decided to go closer to land, where we enjoyed a small group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphins<\/a>. But then we decided to try our luck by looking for the most special sighting of the day, a big group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/false-orcafalse-killer-whale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">false killer whales<\/a>. There were more than a hundred individuals, mixed with a few <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/bottlenose-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bottlenose dolphins<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nIn the afternoon, we saw three species of cetaceans, as well as a few <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/06\/caretta-caretta-loggerhead-turtle.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">loggerhead turtles<\/a> swimming and feeding on <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/mauve-stinger-fact-sheet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mauve stinger jellyfish<\/a>. We started the trip with many blows of fin whales all around. We saw a total of ten different <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/fin-whale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fin whales<\/a>! Then we found again the <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/false-orcafalse-killer-whale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">false orcas<\/a>. This afternoon they were really social and curious swimming really close of our boats to the delight of our tourists. We took many underwater videos which are going to be uploaded on the next days. On our way back we could enjoy the company of a small group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphins<\/a>.<br \/>\n.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<i>Underwater video of the false killer whales &#8211; listen for their wistles<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-ipyzCNLBFug\/U2UqZ1b2eBI\/AAAAAAAAAR0\/BJJI1BBCvZA\/s1600\/IMG_8321.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"272\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_8321.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<i>&nbsp;False killer whale surfacing with something in its mouth<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-DaVxz4xeMVo\/U2UqdRGDXdI\/AAAAAAAAAR8\/f2LSD1uNpAM\/s1600\/IMG_8917.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"274\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_8917.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<i>Fin whale surfacing&nbsp;<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-plNZ4LIr9Zw\/U2UrPreldDI\/AAAAAAAAASM\/nP_JVrqAuKY\/s1600\/IMG_7752.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_7752.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<i>Blue whale<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today we all enjoyed a whole day of good weather with many cetaceans.
