The last few days have been really special out on the water🌊

We’ve had some beautiful encounters with s***m whales-spending quiet moments with them as they rest at the surface (“logging”), before watching them slip away into the deep.
These animals are incredible divers, capable of going over 1,000 meters down and holding their breath for close to an hour.

What makes it even more special is their social side. Here in the Azores, we often see females and calves living in close family groups, staying together for life, caring for one another, and moving through the ocean as a unit.
You can really feel that connection when you’re with them-it’s calm, gentle, and powerful all at once.

And then, just when everything feels stll... the energy shifts. Big splashes, tail slaps, and even a few unforgettable breaches that catch everyone by surprise.

A perfect mix of peaceful moments and wild ocean 💙🌪️

We started the day of yesterday hoping to see something amazing—and were instantly greeted by a pod of orcas, gliding through the water with grace, intelligence, and undeniable presence. The way they move together is mesmerizing, and you can’t help but feel lucky to witness it.

Then, as if the ocean wanted to give us one more gift, a blue whale surfaced nearby. Seeing the largest animal on Earth in its natural home is humbling, awe-inspiring, and impossible to forget.

Moments like these are why we do what we do—sharing the wild, unpredictable beauty of the ocean with everyone on board 💙

A few days ago we installed a new CATT in Vila Franca do Campo 🤝🌊

Inside it is an F-POD — a passive acoustic monitor that listens underwater 24/7 👂🐬
It detects and logs the echolocation clicks produced by dolphins and whales, allowing us to collect high-resolution, long-term data without disturbing the animals.

This kind of monitoring helps us understand when cetaceans are present, how frequently they use the area, and how important this habitat is for them over time 📊

A small device with a big role in uncovering what’s happening beneath the surface 💙

Big thanks to for the support💙

Fresh air, open ocean, and that quiet buzz of excitement in the air 🌊💙

Everyone’s watching the horizon… chatting, laughing… and then suddenly — a blow, a fin, a moment. And just like that, the whole boat lights up 🐋✨

It’s those shared little bursts of joy that make it all so special.
Come out and feel it for yourself🤙

Yesterday felt like one of those days where the ocean just comes alive 🌊

We started noticing loads of birds gathering and diving, which usually means only one thing—there’s food around. And sure enough, dolphins showed up and we got to watch them feeding, moving fast and working together. It’s such a cool thing to witness 🐬

All around them, birds were joining in, and for a moment it felt like everything was happening in the same place, at the same time. Then we spotted a northern gannet just calmly hanging out with a group of Cory’s shearwaters and other birds —such a small detail, but a really special one.

It’s days like this that remind us it’s not just about spotting whales. It’s about being out there, watching how everything connects, and enjoying those simple, real moments in the wild 🌊

Caldeira do Fogo 🌿🌋

A quiet crater lake on São Miguel, formed by volcanic activity thousands of years ago and now sitting high in the island’s central landscape.

Its waters come mainly from rain, which helps keep it still and naturally clear 💧

It’s one of those places where you don’t need much explanation,
you just feel the history in the view.

No two days at sea are ever the same 🐬🌊

While whale watching in the Azores, we sometimes observe interactions like bottlenose dolphins with an ocean sunfish( mola mola).
These encounters may look surprising, but they reveal important aspects of dolphin behavior.

Dolphins are highly intelligent and social animals. Interacting with other species can be linked to curiosity, play, or practicing hunting and coordination skills. Even when the behavior seems rough, it’s part of how they learn, communicate, and survive in the wild.

Observing these moments helps us understand the complexity of marine ecosystems and the incredible adaptations that allow these animals to thrive.

Yesterday we had a remarkable sighting of a blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus), the largest animal on the planet! Observing a blue whale in the wild is an extraordinary encounter with the largest animal ever known to have lived, and a profound reminder of the ecological significance of these apex giants in marine ecosystems.
