\ndays gone to the sea we had an amazing month of May, as we went to the ocean a
\n100% of the days to the ocean and we saw whales a 99% of the times.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\nMay started
\namazingly we a pod of orcas<\/a>; a total of 10 different species have been seen
\nalong the month: the big five of the Azores: blue, fin, sei, humpback and sperm whales<\/a>; killer and false killer whales<\/a>, many different dolphin species.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nThe fin whale has been the species we encountered the most and we can remark the presence of blue whale, which is a bite later than usual.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nIn Pico Island, a total of 10 species have been seen in our tours during months of May and April, including of course the resident ones (sperm whales, common, bottlenose and Risso\u2019s dolphins), the lovely Fin whales, Blue whales and of course the Sei whales and Humpback whales!<\/span><\/div>\n
