Just look at our pictures from today to see what our passengers experienced! In the morning we were watching a&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/minke-whale.html\">minke whale<\/a> that came over to our small rubber boat. On this trip we also saw <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\">common dolphins<\/a> to complete the tour. In the morning travelled far to the east, but it was well worth the trip to see this beautiful part of the Island near Povoa\u00e7\u00e3o. Here we encountered a group of common dolphins close to shore, followed by a <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/sei-whale.html\">sei whale<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/fin-whale.html\">fin whale<\/a> travelling together just a bit further out. Today we also received news from our crew in Pico that have just started their season and sighted <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/sperm-whale.html\">sperm whales<\/a>, sei whales and common dolphins today!!<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_0170.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"427\" qda=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_0170.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<em>This morning &#8211; Watching a minke whale off our rubber boat<\/em><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_0182-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"427\" qda=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_0182-1.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<em>Afternoon &#8211; The common dolphins were very close to shore far to the east<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_0176-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"427\" qda=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_0176-1.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\" style=\"border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;\">\n<em>Watching the common dolphins in the afternoon&nbsp;<\/em><\/div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_0183-1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"427\" qda=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_0183-1.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<em>The common dolphins swimming with our boat<\/em><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_0190.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"427\" qda=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_0190.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<em>Watching a sei whale&nbsp;(seen travelling&nbsp;together with a fin whale) <\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today we had another great whale watching day.
