Fantastic Dolphins!

Hello Whale Watchers! We had a great tour this afternoon!

We started with the magnificent Striped Dolphins jumping ahead of the boat and very high! They had juveniles and calves with them, which was really nice to see. Then, not to far from where we were, we had Risso’s Dolphins. The group was really nice, they were calm and approaching the boat 🙂 This group had also a baby! It was the first time that I saw calf that small.

Striped Dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba)

To finish the tour we went to see the Bottlenose Dolphins. They were also a bit active, some of them were socializing and also we could see some juveniles and calves. They were passing very close to the boat, it was fantastic to see the size of these animals! On the way back, we catch some rain but we had tea at the base to warm up, which was nice 🙂 .

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