\nToday in the morning we started going towards an area of sperm whales<\/a> (the family of Elsemiek and Peregrine) where there also was a fin whales but from our catamaran we found a sei whale so we stopped and watched it before going to the sperm whales. So our zodiac had an encounter with a fin whale<\/a>, plus the sperm whales, while the catamaran saw a sei whale<\/a> plus sperm whales, and we ended the tour with common dolphins<\/a>. In the afternoon we searched a long time for the sperm whales<\/a> but unfortunately we never found them. Instead we watched a group of bottlenose dolphins<\/a> playing around and giving us an amazing show with high jumps and tailslapping. <\/div>\n
