When we stopped to see them, the bottlenose dolphins&nbsp;received us with fantastic high jumps. We had a fantastic morning with five different species of cetaceans (as some of our boats also encountered <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/fin-whale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fin whales<\/a>).
