It was nice to be out on the boat again, enjoying the ocean breeze and the view of the south coast of S\u00e3o Miguel island. During our tour we encountered several different groups of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphins<\/a>, our most encountered species here in the Azores. Some people aboard were also lucky to see a <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/06\/caretta-caretta-loggerhead-turtle.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">turtle<\/a> with the first group of dolphins that we were with. To finish off this tour we went along Vila Franca Islet too see some of the bird life that nests on this extinct crater in the ocean.<\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"color: #073763;\">Some photos of the common dolphins:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MarinaL.Gardoki281229.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MarinaL.Gardoki281229.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MarinaL.Gardoki28929.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MarinaL.Gardoki28929.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MarinaL.Gardoki281029.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MarinaL.Gardoki281029.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MarinaL.Gardoki281129.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/MarinaL.Gardoki281129.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This morning we went out on a tour on the ocean, after a period of being confined to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17707,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[10,4,50,123],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.2 -
