This morning, the sea was still a bit rough but surely it was full of life! Our lookout spotted a big group of common dolphins feeding among Cory’s shearwater, who are always seeking to get some of the fish that dolphins had reunited near the surface!
After enjoying for a bit, we left the pod and moved farther offshore, hoping to see other species from our Atlantic Ocean, but we kept finding more sub-groups of common dolphins.
On the way back, our zodiac boat spotted a lonely shy bottlenose dolphin that dived and disappeared.
During the afternoon trip, we had to move far East, but it was worth it! We saw common dolphins really curious about us, also having feeding behaviors and splashing their bodies against the surface of the sea! In this group, there were juveniles and small calves bow ridding!
On our way back, we were delighted by the beautiful islet of Vila Franca do Campo. From the catamaran Cetus, people spotted some loggerhead turtles, so we hope big baleen whales will arrive shortly!
