Best Sightings for Blue Whales in the Azores!
May 2010 has been an amazing month for Blue Whales. We have had sightings almost every day !! Our guests are have a "whale" of a time and are very happy.
"Once upon a Blue"
The statistics charts have shown more Blue Whales this year than we have known in 20 years! Every season during the months of April and May, the baleen whales are migrating from the warm waters in the south, were they mate and have their young, to the cold north waters were they feed. During this migration they pass in the Azores.....We think there is alot of Krill ( the food of the largest mammal on earth ) So they are staying near our island for longer to feed before continuing their migration.!
