Hello everyone!

Do you know how amazing was yesterday at sea??

In a scale of 0 to 100 was like.. 1000!!!

We had a group of ORCAS!!! Yes that’s right. They were essentially calm but we could see a tail slap here and there! Here are some pictures of this day.

Adult male Orca (Orcinus orca)

A group of female and juvenile Orcas (Orcinus orca)

Not to far from the Orcas we had also a group of Sperm Whales (Physeter macrocephalus), at least 2 juveniles and about 4 females. The area had a few animals!

Also in the same area of the Sperm Whales we had our friends Striped Dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba). Didn’t see them in a while actually but there they were, jumping as always!

Finally, on our way home we found a really nice group of Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), about 40 animals, including juveniles.

This was our amazing morning, hope you had enjoyed!

See you at Terra Azul!
