Today has been a wonderful day! We’ve spent the morning with a mum and a baby blue whale. And the mother has shown its tail!! It’s a good sign for this endangered species, to see a new addition to the population! We also plaing and feeding bottlenose dolphins around with Cory’s shearwaters flying over.
In the afternoon, we have been very lucky to see the two largest animals in the world: a feeding fin whale and a huge blue whale always moving fast. Later on we moved to a family of sperm whales, 5 all together and at least 3 more further away! The ocean was full of whales all around! To finish the tour we ended up with a nice group of common dolphins, once again, with plenty of babies around.
Such a beatiful spring day 🙂
