\nToday was another great day for us here in S\u00e3<\/span><\/span>o Miguel! This morning we had our boats go out for swimming with dolphins and whale watching and again we were successful with great sightings of common dolphins<\/a> followed by a suprise encounter with a humpback whale<\/a> close to Ponta Delgada. In the afternoon there was no sign of the humpback whale, but we did get to see bottlenose dolphins<\/a>, striped dolphins<\/span><\/a> a minke whale<\/a> and common dolphins. During this tour we also came across a blue shark<\/a> attacking a fish. Our trips are always a new adventure as we never know what we are going to see…<\/div>\n
