In the different groups of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/atlantic-spotted-dolphin.html\">spotted dolphins<\/a> that we found during the tour we could see many babies and juveniles\u2026 there is a baby boom in summer time! The spotted dolphins were really curious approaching to the boat many times. The behavior of the <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/striped-dolphin.html\">striped dolphin<\/a> was completely different, they kept the distance with the boat, travelling fast and leaping out of the water many times.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nThe swimming boat could also see <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/bottlenose-dolphin.html\">bottlenose<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\">common dolphin<\/a>, our resident species.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nIn the afternoon we started with bottlenose dolphins, it was a large group of friendly animals. After this sighting we went to the West and we tried our luck. The look out saw a &#8220;big splash&#8221; so we went to the area. After being waiting for a while some people could see two animals from the distance, they were <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/beaked-whale-fact-sheet.html\">beaked whale<\/a>s. We saw them for just a few seconds and we couldn\u2019t see them anymore. &nbsp;We were really patients trying to find the animal from the \u201cbig splash\u201d but we were no lucky this time\u2026 nature is not always easy!&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<b style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #0b5394;\">Photos from today:<\/span><\/b><\/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<a href=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/LauraOtero284229.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/LauraOtero284229.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Atlantic spotted dolphin next to our boat<\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; 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\/2016\/08\/LauraOtero283929.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/LauraOtero283929.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Dolphin watching<\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; 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\/2016\/08\/LauraOtero284029.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/LauraOtero284029.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Adult spotted dolphin<\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; 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\/2016\/08\/LauraOtero284129.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/LauraOtero284129.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Mom and baby spotted dolphin<\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; 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\/2016\/08\/LauraOtero284329.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/whalewatchingazores.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/LauraOtero284329.png\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<i>Striped dolphins jumping<\/i><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<b style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #0b5394;\"><br \/><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We had one more day today with really good visibility, the ocean was with a beautiful blue color.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17019,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[8,9,99,3,201,10,76,254],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.2 -
