We had the choice of going out in our zodiac boats to see the dolphins or stay on land. 20 brave and adventures guests decided to go, we dressed for water and dolphins and left the marina. We saw a large and spread out group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphins<\/a>, and one of our zodiacs got glimpse of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/atlantic-spotted-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> too. The common dolphins were playful, surfing in the waves and jumping full body out of the water next to our boats while we enjoyed the rollercoaster ride. We also got to see plenty of Cory&#8217;s shearwaters and a few Manx shearwater.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: #0b5394;\"><b>Photos from today:<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/20131023_9999_20-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"339\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/20131023_9999_20-1.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: small;\"><i>Common dolphins surfing the waves<\/i><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/20131023_9999_23.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"378\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/20131023_9999_23.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: small;\">Common dolphin<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/20131023_9999_47.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/20131023_9999_47.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: small;\">Our zodiac boat watching the Vila Franca Islet<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/20131023_9999_44-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/20131023_9999_44-1.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: small;\">Sally lightfoot crab <span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-style: normal;\">on the islet<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/20131023_9999_51-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/20131023_9999_51-1.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: small;\"><i>Yellow-legged gull <\/i>on the islet<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Due to the weather conditions we had to cancel our catamaran for this morning and our lookout couldn&#8217;t&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[9,10,20,288,254],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.2 -
