Sei whales again!

Hello everyone!

Today we had an amazing day at sea. We started with our beautiful Common Dolphins (Delphinus delphis) foraging with Cory’s Shearwater, around 60 animals.

On our way to see a whale we found a big group of Atlantic Spotted Dolphins (Stenella frontalis), very curious as always, with adults and juveniles from what we could see.

Then we finally went to see the Sei Whales (Balaenoptera borealis), a mother and a calf, it was breathtaking! They stayed with us until we decided to leave them and finish our tour and all of a sudden on our way back we encountered 2 beaked whales swimming next to our boat, how amazing is that?? Not sure which beaked whale it was because we could only see the back but it was still amazing!

I hope you had enjoyed, see you at Terra Azul!
