During our afternoon trip, we were able to spot Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus), including one of them breaching so close to the boat! Also Loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) and Cory's Shearwater (Calonectris diomedea).
During our sunset trip, we were able to spot Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus), including a calf aproaching the boat. Also Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and Cory's Shearwater (Calonectris diomedea) and the amazing sunset.
