The sea was so calm that we could see the dolphins through the water with a beautiful light, allowing us to take nice pictures of baby dolphins! After the sighting of the dolphins we went to the \u201cwhale area\u201d, there were two <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/sperm-whale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sperm whales<\/a> swimming side by side doing shallow dives. This time we couldn\u2019t see their tails but we were happy enough to see them blowing. The swimmers found a group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/bottlenose-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bottlenose dolphins<\/a> so we saw a total of 4 species in the morning.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nIn the afternoon tour we saw the same number species but different animals. The sperm whale that we saw in the afternoon was the famous Mr Liable, as usual we were lucky to see its tail! After seeing the male sperm whale we went to see the dolphins, the Atlantic spotted dolphins were in a big area feeding together with the birds, what a show!<\/div>\n<p><b style=\"background-color: white; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;; font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"color: #0b5394;\">Photos from today:<\/span><\/b><br \/>\n<b style=\"background-color: white; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;; font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"color: #0b5394;\"><br \/><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/LauraOtero28529.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"789\" data-original-width=\"940\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/LauraOtero28529.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n&nbsp;<i>Mr Liable in the afternoon<\/i><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/LauraOtero28829.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"789\" data-original-width=\"940\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/LauraOtero28829.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\nMr Liable blowing<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/LauraOtero28729.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"789\" data-original-width=\"940\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/LauraOtero28729.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<i>The two sperm whales in the morning<\/i><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<i><br \/><\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/LauraOtero28329.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"789\" data-original-width=\"940\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/LauraOtero28329.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<i>Dolphin watching<\/i><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<i><br \/><\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/LauraOtero28629.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"789\" data-original-width=\"940\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/LauraOtero28629.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<i>Baby Atlantic spotted dolphin<\/i><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<i><br \/><\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/LauraOtero28429.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"789\" data-original-width=\"940\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/LauraOtero28429.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<i>Two of our boats<\/i><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<i><br \/><\/i><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<i><br \/><\/i><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today the morning tour started with flat sea and blue ocean, not far away from Ponta Delgada we&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18800,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[9,3,201,10,4,16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.2 -
