\nHoje tivemos tr\u00eas barcos que partiram para a viagem de dia
\ninteiro, que inclui a observa\u00e7\u00e3o de baleias e golfinhos na parte da manh\u00e3,
\nalmo\u00e7o em Vila Franca do Campo e snorkeling no Ilh\u00e9u de Vila Franca no per\u00edodo
\nda tarde. Tamb\u00e9m tivemos barcos apenas para a observa\u00e7\u00e3o de baleias e golfinhos
\ne barcos para a nata\u00e7\u00e3o com golfinhos. Na parte da manh\u00e3 tivemos um grupo de
\ncachalotes um pouco longe, a leste, e eles n\u00e3o estavam em alimenta\u00e7\u00e3o n\u00e3o efectuando
\nmergulhos profundos para que n\u00f3s consegu\u00edssemos ver muitas barbatanas caudais,
\nmas mesmo assim foi um encontro maravilhoso. Tamb\u00e9m encontramos golfinhos
\ncomuns. Na parte da tarde as baleias estavam muito longe para n\u00f3s irmos at\u00e9 l\u00e1,
\nmas tivemos um grande grupo de golfinhos roazes e comuns com muitas crias. Os
\ngolfinhos deram um espect\u00e1culo especial com alguns, saltos maravilhosos (ver
\nfotos).<\/div>\n

\nToday we had three boats leaving for the Full day tour<\/a>, which includes whale watching in the morning, lunch in Vila Franca do Campo and snorkeling in Vila Franca Islet in the afternoon. We also had whale watching boats out there throughout the day and swimming boats. In the morning we had a sperm whale<\/a> group far to the east, and they were not really in the mode of feeding and deep dives so we didn’t get to see many tails ,but still they were wonderful. We also encountered common dolphins<\/a>. In the afternoon the whales were too far away for us to go there as they went further east, but we had a large group of bottlenose dolphins<\/a> and common dolphins<\/a> with many new born babies. The bottlenose dolphins gave a special treat with some high, marvelous jumps (see photos).<\/div>\n
