It is the peak of the summer in the islands somewhere in the middle of Atlantic. Today we had whale watching during the morning and once more we had a tour with a tight schedule because we had so much to see out there. We saw 5 species of dolphin: common, Risso’s, bottlenose, spotted and last but not smallest pilot whales! It was a really fantastic trip. And for our second encounter, together with the common dolphins, we had a nice visitor looking and approaching us – a devil ray accompanied by two remora fishes. In the afternoon only our swimming boats left the marina to swim with a group of at least 300 common dolphins!
