|ENG| The first day that we could go out after a few days of bad weather! So good it feels to be in the water again :) After our spotter spotted some animals, we equipped our team and went to look for them! On the south of #Picoisland we saw a big group of pilot whales (Globicephala sp.). The group was really calm, approaching the boat a few times. It is not a species that we see often in our expeditions and especially so close as today! Thank you for joining us! Enjoy and sh

|ENG| This day couldn't have gone better! Early morning, no wind and the sun was shining :) Our experienced spotter told us that he was seeing some whales on the south of #PicoIsland, so we equipped the team of Naturalists and went off to a new adventure. In our first stop, we spotted an incredible sei whale (Balaenoptera borealis)! We stayed with the whale for quite a while and sometimes the whale appeared really close to the boat. It was a fantastic sighting, seeing such a

|ENG| Today the weather and sea conditions were perfect! No wind, really calm sea and bright sun! In the morning we talked to the spotter on the north of #Faialisland and he said he already had seen some sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus). So after receiving this information we went to pick the team of Naturalists that were waiting in Madalena, #Picoisland. With the Naturalists on board, we went to look for the sperm whales! Before arriving to the sperm whales area, we saw

|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

Incr|ENG| A calm sea and big sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) close to #Faialisland and #Picoisland, we cannot ask for more! A group of sailor Naturalists requested special moments, and so they had! Our experienced spotter already had sighted the sperm whales so we went straight to the location. We saw two incredible sperm whales that spend a lot of time stopped at the surface. We just stayed there admiring and earing them breathing while collecting more images of their

|ENG| Local Naturalists happy and ready to do the expedition - check Incredible sea conditions - check Now the only thing missing was the dolphins! After the cross of the canal between Faial and Pico we saw a big group of spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) full of babies! The animals were very active and very social with the boat! The water visibility was incredible so we could see them perfectly underwater. Thank you for joining us! Enjoy and share our pictures from the e
