Right in the morning, we took the ferry from Faial to Pico. A 30-minute relaxing journey. The island of Pico is known for its highest mountain of the same name. Since we are not mountain climbers, we only viewed it from below. The remaining time was spent swimming, hiking, and going on another whale tour. While Terceira was very quiet and Faial a bit livelier, Pico is perfect for finally winding down. Few tourists, vast landscapes, and we had a very lovely house right by the sea with a large balcony and an attached shipbuilding museum in the basement. We could relax and enjoy the conclusion of our Azores vacation there.

But we had booked another whale tour for the finale. In the 3.5 hours, we saw common dolphins, pilot whales, rare 2-toothed beaked whales, even rarer pygmy sperm whales, and again their larger relatives. We even got to briefly observe a quite large sea turtle in the Atlantic.
