zodiacs at the afternoon.
In the morning the sea was amazing and the visibility
was quite good. We could find three different species, all of them part of our
resident species. The common dolphins were as calm as the sea but curious as
always, also as the bottlenose dolphins were. We
were able to spot some of the resident bottlenose of our waters and on the same
pod as them, lots of juveniles – what a big pod, around 100 individuals!

Risso’s dolphins are typically much more shy with the boat, but still we could
observe them really well, both the big white males together with (at least) one
female and a juvenile.

On the
afternoon we had an amazing trip because we saw the FIRST BLUE WHALE OF THE
SEASON! As we were with a pod of bottlenose dolphins our lookout spotted a big
blow from the distance and we navigated up to the area hoping to see it. After
whale waiting for some minutes -BAM!- the big expiration of the whale at the
distance! Blow blow!! And so we went to get together with this beautiful
animal, the biggest one on the earth. We saw it quite well for several times
and although it was a little bit shy it still showed us a part of its tail.
