Today was one of those lucky days in which we exceed the average of species seen in one trip. Whereas we usually see between one and three species, today we saw four: two species of dolphins and two species of whales. And what a sighting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started our whale watching tour with a big group of common dolphins<\/a>. As usual, they were bow riding and playing with our boat. These animals are so curious and, while they approach us to see who we are, they take advantage of the waves created by our boat to travel forward with a less energy waste. Seeing fishes jumping out of the water is a clear sign of what were these animals doing in that area, eating. And as they were so focused on their prey, we saw in detail their amazing pattern of colours that we love so much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
