They really do enjoy this time, so much that as soon as the sea temperature drops, these dolphins will leave our area,\u00a0 &#8220;hunting&#8221; for nice and comfy warm waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The group was quite big, with several babies and juveniles.\u00a0 We felt so lucky to have them around! And we managed to shot some beautiful pictures! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our boats also saw a loggerhead turtle! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although we saw one species of dolphins, our waters are full of life, and lately we saw many other species of whales and dolphins.
