The sperm whales of the north

The north coast of São Miguel Island attracts more sperm whales than the south. Off the north, these whales are often in mass gatherings of dozens of individuals. The best part is that the north coast has not been as "touched" by tourism like the south coast has. Over the years, my most most incredible moments with sperm whales have all been off the north coast.
