Perfect day with five different species of cetaceans

The day started with a very good welcoming of a very well known sperm whale. The name of this sperm whale is Tonga and she was doing some tail slapping as we approached her. After some moments we realised there was a second one under Tonga and they were quite curious with our zodiac boat and approached us a little bit more than usual.

We also saw some more sperm whales that were in the same area and in the end we’ve got to see 5 sperm whale tails!

 
 

Then we continued our tour and found a small pod of Risso’s dolphins. They were always keeping a distance, like a typical Risso’s behaviour, but in the end, it was a good sighting.

In the afternoon common dolphins started the trip, it was a small pod but in the beginning, they were quite playful. Sperm whales were the second species! They were with us some minutes at the surface and in the end, they showed us their magnificent flukes! 

After just a few seconds Altlantic spotted dolphins showed up in the same area. They were very interested in the boats always surfing the waves and giving us a very good moment with them.  One of our boats was also able to see a pod of striped dolphins.
