Today was another great day in Pico. We had three tours, all of them with many animals to observe. We encountered sperm whales, northern bottlenose whales, Sowerby’s beaked whale, bottlenose dolphins and Atlantic spotted dolphins. In the Afternoon trip we resighted the sperm whales, Sowerby’s beaked whale and bottlenose dolphins but also encountered Risso’s dolphins and common dolphins. During the late tour the sperm whales and dolphins again as well as a loggerhead turlte. What a day!
