\nIn S\u00e3o Miguel we had a great summer day: great sea and sun in the sky! We <\/span><\/span>have seen a great group of bottlenose dolphins<\/a>, curious and always close to <\/span>the boat, very active, jumping and socializing all day. <\/span><\/div>\n

\nAnd sei whales<\/a>!! <\/span>This week we have seen them several times, and today both in the morning <\/span>and afternoon tours, different animals on each trip, constantly traveling <\/span>west. We could perfectly see the (only) ridge on the top of the head. Wish <\/span>them a nice migration further north!<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n

\nIn Pico Island, we had a Sperm whale<\/a> day! In the morning several females with juveniles that showed us the tails. Still, in the morning time, we saw our resident dolphin species: the common dolphins<\/a> and Risso’s dolphins<\/a> and also the last sighting…some Sowerby beaked whales<\/a>! In the afternoon a big male that showed one really high tail. Both in the morning and afternoon, we could see pilot whales<\/a>. <\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
