|ENG| Today the day started with some clouds and bad light, so it was really difficult for our spotters to find some whales. But after an hour of waiting, we had good news! Two sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) sighted and on the south of #Faialisland, close to home! When we arrived at the area we saw at first two, then three and then four! One sperm whale that was a bit more far away was the first to deep dive and then three whales that were together and close to the boa

|ENG| Afternoon arrived and the wind slowed down, allowing a smooth trip! We were able to sight 5 different sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) and one of them was a small juvenile. All of them were kind and showed us their tails! After, we went to see a big and friendly group of spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis). This species is well known for their friendly behavior where they get close to the boat and stayed like this during the entire sighting. During the sighting,

|ENG| Early morning and our experienced spotter, in the south of #PicoIsland, already had some sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) under his guard. So after all the naturalists are properly equipped we went straight to the area where the sperm whales were spotted. We saw a beautiful tail when the sperm whale deep dove. When they deep dive they leave a bubble, it is like their footprint, at the surface and sometimes they leave behind some skin. Slowly, we got closer to the b

|ENG| Today it was a windy day! Today we went to the north of #Faialisland to look for sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) :) On our way to the sperm whales that the spotter was seeing we saw 2 blows! We got closer to the area where we saw the blows, at first we saw a sperm whale with more or less 8 meters long (they can measure 15 to 18 meters) and after a few minutes a baby sperm whale appears! The baby sperm whales normally are with their mom or they can also stay with t

|ENG| Definitely, a wonderful way to start this new month! Weekend with a sunny day and off we go to a new adventure. When we arrived in the area where our spotter saw a group of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) the animals where deep diving, they can be on average 40 minutes underwater, so we had to wait a little bit. After a few minutes, we saw our first blow! We saw 4 sperm whales :) When we were waiting for a sperm whale to come to the surface we spotted a group of p

|ENG| Another day with a flat sea! Early morning and our spotter already had a position for a group of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus), so we went straight to find them. We saw two different sperm whales and we believe one of them was pregnant! The sperm whales have only one baby at a time and the gestation period can last between 13 to 15 months. Close to the coast, we saw a huge pod of common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) with a lot of tiny babies, maybe with just a fe

|ENG| Today we had almost no wind, so we had almost a flat sea! We saw a small group of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). In the beginning, they approached the boat but then they kept their "social distance" rule from humans. After a while, they start to be more active, they performed some jumps and it was also possible to see some sexual behaviour (e.g. chasing each other and rubbing their bellies). Then we left the group of dolphins and went to look for the biggest
