This don’t happen every day. We encountered on our morning tours today an incredible number of sea mammals. The “Ribeira Brava” could see a hand full of them and “Stenella” even encountered 6 different species. Among them the deep divers Sperm whales, Blainville’s beaked whales and Pilot whales. In Addition as well Common dolphins, Atlantic spotted dolphins and Bottlenose dolphins. Another Highlight was the Loggerhead turtle feeding on Portugiese Man of War. In the afternoon we continued on our winning streak and could show our guests 4 different species of dolphins: Atlantic spotted dolphins, Common dolphins, Bottlenose dolphins and Pilot whales. Happy guests and Crews left our boats 😉
