\nThis morning we went out and encountered one of our well known groups of bottlenose dolphins<\/a>, it was bubblemaker’s group again, he is named after his habit to blow bubbles shortly before surfacing. We know him and his group for quit some time know and they are always very playful towards our boats. Shortly after we left the bottlenose dolphins we had the company of first 2 and a little later 3 fin whales<\/a>, so amazing to see the second largest animal on earth up close.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn the afternoon we saw the same group of bottlenose dolphins<\/a> as in the morning. Than we found a very playful pod of Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> with 3 calves that were investigating our boat. We finished the day with the company of a group of common dolphins<\/a>. It is always nice to see different types of dolphins and when they are in a playful mood it’s even better.<\/div>\n
