Unfortunately this time of the year not many people visit the Azores even though we operate all year and all through the winter we still see several whale and dolphin species. During this month we have sighted 6 different species in just 9 tours! The highlights of this month were an encounter with <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/false-orcafalse-killer-whale.html\">false killer whales<\/a> on Christmas Day and a <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/humpback-whale.html\">humpback whale<\/a> at the end of the month. Additionally <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\">common dolphins<\/a> were sighted on 100% of all our tours this month!
