Another great day here in S\u00e3o Miguel, with three different species sighted! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First we saw a group of traveling Risso\u2019s dolphins<\/a> which were quite shy as usual, but we managed to see their scarred bodies – apparently this group had many older individuals which were practically white, and looked like ghosts underwater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon after, we were greeted by a huge blow of a sei whale<\/a> – a migratory species, the third largest animal in the world! The sei whale was traveling by our side close to the boat and everyone got the chance to enjoy watching it breathing and rolling its back with its tall dorsal fin coming out of the water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
