Hello everyone! Today the sky was cloudy but the sea was really good, completely flat.

We started the morning with the fantastic Blue Whale. After spending some time with this whale, we went for a group od Striped Dolphins and had a surprise! They had calves jumping with them! It was really beautiful seeing so many babies.

Next, our lookout told us that he saw a whale in another area and so we sayed goodbye to the Striped Dolphins. After a while searching we saw the first blow of a Fin Whale and another one. When we realized, we had 4 or 5 Whales around our boat! One Blue Whale and the others were Fin Whales.

At our way back, we found another group of Striped Dolphins but this time with a “little” difference. This time they were with the Common Dolphins feeding. It’s always good when we see 2 different species at the same time cooperating.

If you want to join, come visit us at Terra Azul!
