\nToday we

\nsurprise in the morning with six northern bottlenose whales<\/a> very calm a nice to
\nsee, plus bottlenose <\/a>and common dolphins<\/a> very friendly and nice.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nafternoon surprised us with a big family of sperm whales<\/a>, at least 20 whales
\naround us, very calm and socializing, what a great day we had!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nOn Pico
\nIsland, we saw pilot whales <\/a>and spotted dolphins<\/a>. Why go see cetaceans in
\ncaptivity? Isn’t it much better to see them in their natural habitat where they
\ndo whatever they want? <\/span><\/span>Observe the
