This morning we woke up with a cloudy and rainy day, but we knew that our friends were out there. Our lookouts managed to see a group of dolphins, so we went out to meet them.
It was a big pod of Atlantic spotted dolphins. These ones were always active, coming close to the boat, jumping… It was easy to see the difference between juvenile and adult dolphins. The juveniles don’t have spots and the adults do have.

Then, while we were looking for sperm whales, a different species appeared: the pilot whales! It was pretty nice to see these animals with the colour of the sea and the grey of the clouds.The catamarans could see common dolphins and not the group of Atlantic spotted dolphins. Some of our boats also manage to see bottlenose dolphins and Risso’s dolphins.
