\nDuring our tours today we had the opportunity to see 6 different species of cetaceans.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe started the morning with our more common sighting… common dolphins<\/a>! after them we found a nice pod of bottlenose dolphins<\/a>. We stayed with them for a while  but once we had news from our look out we had to keep going! The look out had great news for us, a fin whale! the second largest animal in the world (a species that we usually see just during the spring time) delighted us with its presence.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn the way to the fin whale we were surprised with a special encounter, a family of Risso’s dolphin<\/a>. Despite this species being resident in the Azores we don’t encounter them really often so we can say that this sighting made our day!.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nOn the way back to Ponta Delgada, after a great tour, one of our boats was lucky enough to see atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a>… a summer species!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe sightings from the afternoon were really different, as we always say… every tour is a surprise in the Azores!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe started the tour with sperm whales<\/a>, we had to wait for them for while (they were doing a deep dive), but patience pays off and we could enjoy the presence of two individuals surfacing really calm for a while, doing shallow dives every once in a while.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe finished the day with common and bottlenose dolphins<\/a>, we could see many babies in both groups!<\/div>\n
