Hide and seek!

Hello everyone!

On our last tour we had amazing sightings!

We first encounter a very curious group of Atlantic Spotted Dolphins (Stenella frontalis). We could see a lot of spotty adults bowriding with us.

Then our lookout found a big big group of Striped Dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) traveling alongside with juveniles and calves, some of them even got close to our boat.

Then we tried to search for a Sperm Whale (Physeter macrocephalus) that was somewhere between the waves. We tried many locations with the hydrophone to check if we were close or not, after a while we manage to find the Sperm Whale, it was really rewarding, after all we are dealing with nature.

See you at Terra Azul!
