\nToday the ocean looks like a mirror, reflecting everything at the surface. Calm and still. We started our tour with a big group of bottlenose dolphins<\/a> and then our lookout send us to see several fin whales<\/a>; they were very calm and looked like they were just there floating and a bit curious with the boats. After this encounter we had a very rare sighting, Blainville\u2019s beaked whales<\/a>, this is a very shy species. On our way back to Ponta Delgada we also got to see some common dolphins<\/a> swimming in the direction of Cory’s shearwaters<\/a> that were feeding. (The smell of the fish was super intense!).<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nIn the afternoon we barely got out of the harbor, all the animals were so close to the shore! We saw some bottlenose dolphins<\/a> bow-riding our boats, and one of them had half of its dorsal fin, which made him unique for us. After the dolphins, we saw a fin whale and a blue whale. When we were leaving the blue whale<\/a>, another one joined to say goodbye to all of us. The perfect spring day in the ocean.<\/p>\n
