\nToday is an absolutely perfect day for whale watching and swimming with dolphins in S\u00e3o Miguel. The sea is calm, the sky is blue, the water is warm and crystal clear and there are plenty of animals around for us to see. Following are a few of our photos taken from aboard our catamaran this morning. Among our different boats we sighted common dolphins<\/a>, sperm whales<\/span><\/a>, Risso’s dolphins<\/a> and loggerhead turtles<\/a>, including one large individual with a missing flipper.<\/p>\n
