Today was a sunny and beautiful day on the sea. Our morning trip started with a lot of instructions to follow from our lookouts. We started traveling to south of the island and suddenly we saw a blow. It was a Sperm whale that dove quickly when we arrived to the area. When sperm whales show the fluke, it means that they are going for a deep dive and can stay a minimum of 45 minutes underwater, so we decided to continue our trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what a surprise!! Further we started to see another different blow, much higher and straight. Without doubt it was a baleen whale blow! But it decided to dive and we couldn’t see it closer. In the same area we saw a very very strange thing : pilot whales<\/a>. Normally a species that we see just during the summer. It was a big group with a lot of calves. We were surrounded by them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, again the same blow from before and this time we were closer and we recognized the fin and the white right side of the mouth. It was a fin whale<\/a>, the second biggest whale in the world! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
