🇬🇧 Today a curious sperm whale calf swam up to our boat. After a quick investigation, it swam off and reunited with the adult female that was guarding them. When the calf approached us, the engine was in neutral and the boat was stopped.
🇵🇹 Hoje um curioso cachalote nadou até ao nosso barco. Após uma rápida investigação, ele nadou e reuniu-sw com a fêmea adulta que estava com ele. Quando o cachalote aproximou-se a nós, o motor estava em ponto morto e o barco estava parado.

In Capelo, by the Capelinhos Volcano, Porto do Comprido is like a natural pool, in the past they used to be where boats set sail for a whale hunt.
Formed by basalt rocks, its waters are crystal clear and naturally warm, perhaps even warmed by the heat of the dormant volcano. 🏝

Na freguesia do Capelo, junto do Vulcão dos Capelinhos, o Porto do Comprido hoje em dia é como uma piscina natural , antigamente eram de onde zarpavam os botes para a caça à baleia.
Formado por rochas basálticas, as suas águas são cristalinas e naturalmente mornas, quem sabe aquecidas ainda pelo calor do vulcão adormecido. 🏝

Summer 2019, by Camille :D
Hello fellow humans, Pedro here...
As we are preparing the 2020 Whale Watching Season, it´s time to reflect/remember/enjoy/miss the one still going... slow, but still on... ;)
Recently we got this video on the "mail". Our good friend Camille sent us this memory of her stay here with us. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! :D
Pay attention to this space, still a few things going on that will be worth it.
Be well,
Pedro
There must be whales at the end of that rainbow 🌈
This time they were dancing 💃 Sperm whales diving deep!
Big swell and big blues... Feels like a long time since our last blue whale, odds tell us only next year now! Thanks for the classic heads up Pedro! Helping photographers on board with his super glasses 👏👏 #goodguypedro
And the prize for synchronised swimming goes tooo 🐋🐋
On the 30th of may we had the most incredible sperm whale day! Sperm whale soup! This was 1 of 2 close encounters! The boat was stopped and the whale passed right by us. Sincere apologies for the shakey footage but seems like excitement took over the biologist filming this event (as you will probably be able to tell from her face!)
Feels like summer is back today and everyone is happy about it!
The blow of a blue whale can reach a height of up to 12 meters! To put that into perspective, imagine the height of two stacked giraffes!!
Here’s a sequence of a blow in homage to the arrival of blue whales to our waters! 3 Sightings this week!
Disclaimer: we do not guarantee the sighting of stacked giraffes at sea.
