Hello everyone! Today’s morning tour was just AMAZING! We saw a total of 5 species, a Fin Whale and the 4 resident species of the Azores: Sperm Whale, Common Dolphin, Bottlenose Dolphin and the Risso’s Dolphin. The Risso’s dolphins were a surprise for both sides because they didn’t appear in a while, so it was good to see them again. The Sperm Whales were also really nice, one of them was spyhopping which allowed us to see it’s head.

We have on top a gallery of the pictures of today, so you can appreciate as well.
