Today was a great day for whale watching! The sun was shining, the animals were easy to spot and everybody was having a great time in our boats. We started the trip with some Risso’s dolphins that we found on our way to another species.
They were a group of about 15 individuals, really calm, allowing us to enjoy a great sighting. We kept on navigating to some sperm whales that after some time of search delighted us with two beautiful flukes.
Big and active bottlenose dolphins appeared really close to the sperm whales, bowriding at really high speed they chased our boat for quite a long time. We still could witness another sighting with two more sperm whales and even a double fluke. What a great and nonstop morning.

This afternoon a very active pod of atlantic spotted dolphins with a lot of babies were swimming close to us during some minutes, after some of them were doing bow riding on our catamaran boats. Our lookouts and us were looking for more species, we went 13 miles outside but the nature was not on our side and we came back thinking of the amazing races of atlantic spotted dolphins.
