Other rarities we have found in our region during the summer months include, Trindade (formerly Herald) and Fea’s Petrel, Masked Booby, and South Polar Skua.

We may also find interesting marine mammals like Cuvier’s Beaked Whale, several species of Mesoplodon Beaked Whales, Striped Atlantic Spotted, Offshore Bottlenose, and Risso’s Dolphin, and Short-finned Pilot Whales.

There has been recent reports of Right Whales, Sei Whales, and a Blue Whale offshore.
