Today was a lovely and hot day, really nice to enjoy some quality time at sea.
We encountered a big pod of at least 200 Common Dolphins (Delphinus delphis) travelling with some cute tiny babies.

Later on we saw the elusive and very beautiful Striped Dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) leaping out of the water.

And last but not least, our amazing encounter with different groups of Sperm Whales (Physeter macrocephalus). The first whale we spotted guided us there by breaching two times out of the water. A beautiful spectacle even from further away. It got even more exciting when a calf Sperm Whale decided to swim towards us to check out the boat. What an unique encounter.

Stay tuned for our next adventures.
