\nToday we had an awesome time with lots of fin whales<\/a> around. In the morning we encountered two whales, and in the afternoon four, but we could see more blows around us. We think that there were at least 6 whales around in the afternoon, it was difficult to be sure as we seemed to switch whales a few times every time a pair came up. Some of the surfacings were close to our boats today, allowing us to get some great photos of these gentle giants. We also spent time with bottlenose dolphins<\/a> in the morning (the same group some of our clients swam with yesterday) and common dolphins<\/a> in the afternoon. They were calm and playful groups that didn’t hesitate to bowride and look at us.<\/div>\n
