On our morning expedition, we encountered a majestic Blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus), the largest animal on Earth, and a deep-diving Cuvier’s beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris). Playful Common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) and Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) swam alongside us, while Cory’s shearwater (Calonectris borealis) soared above.

During our afternoon expedition, we spotted a powerful Fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus), along with more Common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) and Cory’s shearwaters (Calonectris borealis).

Every trip brings new surprises, and we can’t wait for the next adventure! Stay tuned for more updates.

We hope you enjoyed your trip & see you again on another opportunity!
