\nThe baleen whale season is still fully ongoing with fin whales<\/a>, we had three whales, two adult and a juvenile, by our side. We also had a minke whale<\/a> out there today and we went to the area, very close to the coast, but unfortunately we never found it. We do not see as many minke whales<\/a> as blue whales<\/a>, fin whales<\/a> and sei whales<\/a> during the spring migration so this would had been the first one of the year. Instead we got to see some wonderful bottlenose dolphins<\/a> and a loggerhead turtle<\/a>. And we started the tour with our resident and reliable common dolphins<\/a> with lots of new born babies. So we had a great “schedule” today full of cetaceans. <\/div>\n
