Finally the sun was out all day and the island of S\u00e3o Miguel was quite cloudless. We went eastward and had a beautiful view of the south east coast and on the way we found several groups of dolphins. <\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nWe started with Common Dolphins followed by Atlantic Spotted Dolphins, and then we went to the much bigger species like the Bottlenose Dolphins. <\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nThe highlight was the not often sighted Risso\u2019s Dolphins which were even leaping high out of the water from time to time. From our zodiac it was instead of the Atlantic Spotted Dolphins the Striped Dolphins to be seen. <\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nThe afternoon tour was encountering a pod of Bottlenose Dolphins and two very friendly groups of Common Dolphins leaping, bow- and wake riding; enjoying our presence.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nIn Pico Island the whale watching tours were also dedicated to dolphins. We saw risso’s dolphins as well and also atlantic spotted dolphins. As you know, these ones normally visit us during the summer.<\/span><\/div>\n
