We started the tour with some nice encounters with several small groups of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphins<\/a> spread out over a large area. After spending some time with these friendly dolphins we went further to the east where our lookout had spotted another species. It was a small group of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/rissos-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Risso&#8217;s dolphins<\/a>! The Risso&#8217;s dolphins were making the most of surfing in the swells that were forming. It was a great morning with two of our resident dolphin species.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #0b5394;\">Photos from today:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_1027-CC3B3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_1027-CC3B3pia.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Common dolphin<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_1034-CC3B3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_1034-CC3B3pia.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Watching common dolphins from our catamaran<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_1025-CC3B3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_1025-CC3B3pia.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Watching common dolphins from our catamaran<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_0038-CC3B3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_0038-CC3B3pia.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Risso&#8217;s dolphin<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_1043-CC3B3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_1043-CC3B3pia.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Risso&#8217;s dolphin<\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_1033-CC3B3pia.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DSC_1033-CC3B3pia.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<i>One of our zodiac boats out on the water<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today we went out on the water in the morning, before the wind and waves picked up in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17128,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[10,4,35],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.2 -
