\n<\/a>Today we had a day with lots of species. We started the morning with common dolphins<\/a> and later on fin whales<\/a>. We started with two whales, but we ended up with one. This whale was a little bit curious and surprised us a few time by coming up close to us. In the afternoon we resighted the fin whales<\/a> but soon we got the news of orcas (killer whales)<\/a> around. We encountered a male and a female, but our lookout saw one more male further away. Last time orcas were sighted in S\u00e3o Miguel was in 2014 so it was a happy sighting! The crew and the passengers were all very excited. We also saw one common dolphin<\/a>, Portuguese man-o-war<\/a> and a loggerhead turtle<\/a>. <\/div>\n
