The
biodiversity of cetaceans that we see in the Azores is enormous; today we had
an amazing encounter with 4 fin whales in the morning! It seems
that the baleen season is already on! We call it baleen
whale season when the big baleen whales start showing up around the Azores, this
happens when they start their migration to northern latitudes where the waters
are rich in food at this time of the year. Hopefully
they will be around for some months! We also saw
a very nice and curious pod of common dolphins, one of our resident species
Here you can check some photos of our trips:
