\n
\nThis morning Futurismo had a film crew aboard, for our local TV channel, RTP A\u00e7ores. To see the video which screened on the 20th of September click HERE<\/a> (you can skip ahead to time 18:20 where the section on whale watching begins). Throughout the day we encountered 4 different dolphin species throughout the day. In the morning we encountered a couple of groups of common dolphins<\/a> followed by bottlenose dolphins<\/a> and finally Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a>. In the afternoon we encountered common dolphins again, then Risso’s dolphins<\/a> and bottlenose dolphins to end the tour. We got to see some great groups and some really nice behaviours, including the common dolphins feeding (together with many seabirds) and the spotted dolphins fighting in the morning and the Risso’s dolphins diving deep in the afternoon, showing their tails like sperm whales. We also got to see many newborn baby dolphins of all species, and to continue our manta<\/a> record another one was spotted in the afternoon from aboard one of our boats.<\/div>\n
