Back at sea with Sperm whales!

After 4 days of being “grounded” in the office due to the weather conditions, we were finally able to go out today! 😀

Looking at the nice seas and sunny skies we had today, you wouldn’t guess the bad weather we have been feeling lately. And to make it even better we spent the whole day with Sperm whales!!

The one in the image above is the big male that we met this afternoon. He took his time to show up but, when hope was almost lost, he surfaced and kept travelling at the surface for a while allowing us to have a great look 😀

Also on all of our trips we had our faithful Common dolphins that were also kind enough to let us swim in their company in the morning 🙂

Keep tuned for more news of our tours!
