In Pico Island today we had something special: The Big Five! We had a rare tour where we could see Blue whale<\/a>, Fin whale<\/a>, sei whale<\/a>, humpback whale<\/a> and Sperm whale<\/a>! What an awesome experience for our normal 3-hour tour! This is something unique that happens only once in a while. <\/span>
\n
\n<\/span><\/span> In S\u00e3o Miguel island, in the morning, we saw a mommy fin whale<\/a> with her baby <\/span>always side by side and a very nice and big pod of bottlenose dolphins<\/a>. In <\/span>the afternoon also a fin whale, but this time only one and very big! The <\/span>pod of bottlenose dolphins was very curious in the afternoon.<\/span>
