What a Saturday! Although we left Ponta Delgada with a cloudy sky, it soon opened and became a very sunny and bright day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started our trip by going East, where our lookouts have sighted a group of dolphins. And there we go! We traveled quickly and soon we arrived at our first sighting \u2013 a big group of Common dolphins<\/a>. What a group! Not only did they approached the boat and bow ride with us, but also showed us some of their jumps. And the best of all \u2013 calves \u2013 plenty of them besides their mothers. Common dolphins are present in the Azores all year round and are very easy to distinguish from other species due to their skin coloration \u2013 common dolphins have a yellow pattern on their sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
