Hello everyone! Today the sea was amzing and the weather was warm, so it was pretty good on the sea.

We started our tour with the Bottlenose Dolphins. They were very quiet but in the end they started to jump a little bit more. Then a bit more close to the shore, we found a big group of Common Dolphins. They were about 80 dolphins, juveniles and calves included. At a certain point, they started to jump a lot in the East dierection.

At the end of the tour we saw 2 Fin Whales! They were feeding because we could see the grooves under the throat expanding, plus it was the right side, so we could see the white pigmentation.
