\nToday we had a wonderful morning!! <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nwhere he saw some blows. We stopped the boat and suddenly we saw a big body
\nemerging completely out of the water!! \ud83d\ude00 What a big surprise: Humpback whale<\/a>!! <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nWe were delighted with an amazing show of breaching, chin slapping, tail throw,
\nlob tailing, pectoral fin slapping and even swimmed underneath our zodiac! We
\nsaw about 10\/15 breaches <\/span>and we were all
\nso excited!! <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nGood news on the radio: another blow! Sperm whale<\/a> time <\/span>?<\/span> We saw on total 3 sperm whales (2
\nadults and a calf). These individuals belong to the group we are seeing on
\nthese last days!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nIn the afternoon, we sighted more whales, but this time, fin whales<\/a>! The
\nsecond largest animal in the world passing by our island. We managed to see two
\nof them, constantly traveling both together. We really enjoyed looking at
\nthem. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nThen, we continued our trip to see sperm whales again. We managed to see
\nanother tail, a different one than this morning. Let’s check if it belongs to
\nthe same group as the last few days! <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAnd then, if the whales were not enough, some of our boats saw hundreds
\nof dolphins. Common dolphins<\/a> and striped dolphins<\/a> together! Beautiful!!
\nAmazing!! And to swim… bottlenose dolphins<\/a>, nice and friendly. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nWhat a day here in the Azores… six species in total: 3 of whales and 3 of dolphins!!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAre you going to be here tomorrow??? Come and join us!<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
