\nToday was the day of the Risso’s dolphins<\/a> in S\u00e3o Miguel. We
\nhad a large group of at least 30 Risso’s dolphins together, seen throughout the
\nday and within close proximity of our boats. Usually the Risso’s dolphins here
\nare quite shy around boats, but not today! In the morning they seemed to be
\nsocialising, almost jumping out of the water and in the afternoon they were
\ngrouping up but very calm and seemed to be resting. We also encountered fin whales<\/a> during the morning tour: a mother and baby pair. They were surfacing
\nfrequently and we got to see them really well, to the delight of our
\npassengers. In the morning we also had a boat of for swimming with the
\nbottlenose dolphins<\/a>, adding a third species to our list of sightings for the
\nday.<\/span><\/div>\n
