\nToday we had a beautiful day, the sea was calm and full of life.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn the morning tour we started with the sightings of different groups of common dolphins<\/a>, they were friendly approaching to the boats. One of our boats could also see a few bottlenose dolphins<\/a>. After the dolphins we went to the “whale area” where we could see two fin whales<\/a> that were surfacing really often.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAfter the fin whales we went to the area where our look-out saw a male sperm whale<\/a>. It wasn’t easy to see the animal… it went for a deep dive and it was diving for 70 minutes! On average, the sperm whales when they go for a deep dive they stay 45 minutes under the water but sometimes (like today) they can stay longer… Our catamaran Quatro Ventos could see the animal surfacing for a few minutes before going for a deep dive again, what a beautiful sighting!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn the afternoon we found fin whales again, they were about four in the area. Our boats for swimming with the dolphins also enjoy the company of common dolphins!<\/div>\n
