Sightings of resident species (common dolphin, striped dolphin, bottlenose dolphin or pilot whale) are feasible throughout the season, however those semi-resident or migratory species are observed at certain times when they are frequent in the area. The sperm whale is sighted mainly during May, June and July.
During the first half of August, sightings of this species begin to be quite occasional, and we consider it absent during the second half of August and the first half of September, to be sighted again during the autumn. Orca sightings are made from mid-July to approximately mid-August.
Finally, most fin whale sightings are made during the months of May and June. All passengers are available for Mandatory Travelers Insurance (SOV) as established by RD1575 of December 22, 1989.
