Today we had a long day out in the ocean. In the morning we first traveled east to see a large group of bottlenose dolphins. Then, one of our boats had to travel further west in order to  spot a sperm whale. In the afternoon all our boats managed to see the same species that we saw in the morning, but closer.<\/span>

\nIn Pico, we were expecting rain according to the forecast. Luckily at the end we didn\u2019t have that much. So we made the most and found a group of risso\u2019s dolphins. We also saw 4 sperm whale tails, as well as striped dolphins swimming really fast. By the end of the tour we saw a group of bottlenose dolphins very curious with our boat.<\/span>
