Common dolphins breed during the spring and summer time, and therefore, now it\u2019s the best time to see the babies that were recently born. Curious babies and adults! They came close to our boats and showed us how beautiful they are. The weather was still good, and our lookouts were able to see some whales further away.

In spring, Azores waters get really rich in nutrients, as the colder waters come from the deep ocean to the surface. All these nutrients attract a lot of species, including krill and big shoals of small fish, that consequently attract the whales. These are hungry and skinny after the breeding season, and therefore Azores waters look like an oasis to them. But this was not all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img width=\"900\" height=\"600\"
