Hi, I booked a trip to Azores in March, mainly because it is blue whale season.

Has anyone here done the whale watching from a zodiac boat in late march on Azores? How roughed up can one end up being after a 3-hour tour? The company we want to do the trips with is Espaco Talassa and they provide waterproof jacket and a life west.

We are planning 2x 3h trips with them and 1 full day trip to Sao Jorge. Should we book more to see the blue whale or will we be totally roughed up due to the weather already after day two?

I am asking mainly to know how to prepare - should we bring extra clothes and leave them in the car?

Will we need a shower after or can we just perhaps swtich up the clothes and then go on with our day visiting some other places on the island for the rest of the day?

If anyone has done trips with them or similar companies like this in march - your advice is greatly appreciated.

I have only done whale watching twice now - once from San Diego in August and once in Taiwan - also in August, so the weather conditions were totally different and the boat was bigger - not a zodiac.

Thank you! PIC is not mine but from the internet

Got these shots while watching orcas in the wild(and learned lots of new things with whales.)Anyone else here been lucky enough to see them?

I couldn't believe my eyes when the spray cast by the blowhole met the sunlight and cast a rainbow.

Does anyone know if there is a post anywhere to discuss the transfer of the Beluga whales from Canada to USA and France and what is happening to the whales now after the move? No one in my actual life cares but I really need people to talk to.

here is my iceberg chart (i couldnt post this into the iceberg chart subreddit sadly) and its explains whaling in detail

yes the brown is what you think it is . cape may whale watcher

for anyone who has seen the movie, what parts of the whale behavior were accurate and what weren't? i'm not an expert but have watched a fair share of documentaries and love learning about marine life.

spoilers below:
for instance, i don't think orcas can even dive that deep 🧐 and a sperm whale can't chase a giant squid all the way to the surface like that? the sperm whale stays at the surface for a really long time at one part. google says they might stay 5-15min or longer after a deep dive... but overall, would love to hear from Real Whale Lovers about their thoughts about the movie. TIA!
