Seeing whales and dolphins in the wild is often found on people&#8217;s bucket list. It was a beautiful summer day to have amazing encounters like in the morning with friendly <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/common-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">common dolphins<\/a> perfectly seen through the crystal clear water. Or to meet and hear <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/atlantic-spotted-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> close up in big pods. To catch a glimpse of small and big balls of fish shimmering through the water surface. Or in the afternoon to watch <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/sperm-whale.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sperm whales<\/a> before disappearing majestically in the depth. Almost touching flocks of <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/great-shearwater-fact-sheet_3172.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">great shearwaters<\/a> together with <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/sooty-shearwater-fact-sheet.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sooty shearwaters<\/a>, after the Atlantic spotted dolphins visited our boat. To observe <a href=\"http:\/\/azoreswhales.blogspot.pt\/2007\/07\/bottlenose-dolphin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bottlenose dolphins <\/a>leaping in their natural habitat. All this was possible today with Futurismo!
