Photos of Dolphins!!

Hi!

Here are some photos of atlantic spotted dolphins send by a client!

The last Week!!

This last week was fantastic!!
We saw lots of species, lots of whales and lots of dolphins!

We saw lots of sperm whales, very close to the shore.

We are stopped near one (at 50 meters), the whale is very calm, resting at the surface. We turn off the engine and stay there!
It was on a very good day, the sea is so calm that the boat almost doesn’t move. The whale approaches us, probably have curiosity to see what it is…

Then she goes away and also us. On the way back we saw other animals; other sperm whales, but those are babies! Very small, smaller than the boat; so nice!!

They pass us, not far, and after that we saw an adult going on the same direction. The lock out tell us that there are at least 20 sperm whales going on that direction.

On other day, we saw beak whales. They are 3, at least! They are passing swimming; it was possible to see then very well. They also show the beak and were possible to identify them. It was Gervais’ beaked whale!
Very beautiful animals!

We also saw common dolphins, atlantic spotted dolphins, bottlenose dolphins and Risso’s dolphins!!!

What to say about today…

Today we go out on the morning and on the afternoon.

On the morning we started to see common dolphins. It was not an easy job because the dolphins are all the time change direction, but after a while we finally find them.
It is a big group, swimming very fast and feeding. We stay with them as long as possibly.
On the way back we spot something. We stop to see what it is…it was four Cuvier’s beaked whale!!! Amazing!!!
They are there, very calm, swimming slowly, showing the head!!!
After some minutes they go away.

When are almost arriving to marina, the look out ask us to go a little out to check something that she is sawing there, something dark!
We go, and it was a turtle, a leatherback turtle!!

What a Good Morning!!

After the lunch we go out with the feeling that we will have a very good afternoon. The sea was even calmer, the visibility was very good!!

Some minutes latter the look out find Dolphins! We go to the area. It was a very big group of Atlantic Spot Dolphins!
They are feeding on a big school of mackerel (we can see them passing below the boat)!! After feeding they start to play…bow riding, breaching, surfing the waves…

Suddenly we saw the dolphins moving away fast!! What happening??

It is a big whale, a big Fin Whale coming up to surface!

She show the head, she blow, she stay there on the are about half an hour and then, she go…We also go, our time was on the end.

It was a very good time!!!

False Killer Whales!!! Lots of...

Last Friday, 20, we saw lots of False Killer Whale!!
The size of the group was between 50-80 individual.

They are very friendly and stay with us lots of time!
We observed natural behaviors like, bow riding and breaching!
