Today we had beautiful weather and some amazing sightings on our tours as well! Soon after we left from the port, our lookouts informed us about a sei whale<\/a> nearby together with a group of migratory Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a>. In a few moments, we saw all of them feeding, with many Cory’s shearwaters<\/a> flying around as well! Then, it seemed like we couldn’t see the sei whale anymore… Until it surprised all of us with it’s blow right next to our boat! That moment of suddenly seeing the third largest animal in the world right by your side really got everyone’s hearts racing! The whale seemed curious about our boat and was circling around for quite a while. Then it started feeding and showed us its mouth – not something you can see every day!  Although most of the attention was on the whale, we could also see plenty of jumping dolphins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
