Hello everyone! Today we had a fantastic tour, altough the sky was cloudy and the sea state in on the East side was rough, we went to the West and it was the opposite, the sea was almost flat!

Our lookout, Filipe, saw a baleen whale on the area where we were staying, so we searched for a few minutes and then we it. It was a very relaxed Fin Whale. It was swimming very slowly, which allowed everyone to see.

Then we went to see a group of Bottlenose Dolphins and they were really active! Crazy jumps everywhere, one of the dolphins did a mortal jump in front of the boat. They were enjoying their socializing moment really well!

At the way back we saw some Flying fishes. At first sight they looked like birds but no, they were fishes!
