\nToday was not an easy day for the lookouts, the visibility was not the best but in the end,  we still got to see 3 species in total. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn
\n the morning we started to see several sperm whales in the same area.
\nTwo of them were diving before we arrived so we saw them a bit further
\naway but we kept searching and suddenly one breached and we got to
\nobserve it well and to say goodbye it showed its tail.  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nThe second species was the Risso’s dolphin. Strangely they were more or less interested in the boats, which is not so usual for these dolphins. We got to see some babies in the group meaning that the population is healthy.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn the afternoon we had to travel 15 miles out of the coast to find a group of Risso’s dolphin alongside with bottlenose dolphins. These interactions between species it’s not so usual but having these kinds of sightings is always nice to witness. There were also some babies in the groups as in the morning.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
