\n
\nThis year we celebrated Christmas day by going on a whale watching tour on our catamaran. We received a very nice present – an encounter with False Killer Whales<\/a>, a species that we do not see often in the Azores! We also saw many groups of common dolphins<\/a> and to increase the Christmas spirit we had our own Santaclaus aboard! Following are a video and some photos from today’s Christmas Tour.<\/div>\n
