azwhales
Today we had a visit from a large blue whale. This particular whale was sighted during both our morning and afternoon whale watching tours. As well as this largest animal in the world we are still on a roll with the second largest: the fin whale. We have now encountered fin whales every day for the last 31 one days straight! We also enjoyed the company of common dolphins throughout the day and we had a lovely swimming tour with them in the morning. As a bonus, those on our catamaran in the morning also spotted an ocean sunfish (Mola mola).
