\n
\nWe started this day with a Bryde’s whale<\/a> that in the beginning was difficult to see as it was travelling fast (20 km\/hr), but after a while it slowed down and came close to our boats. It was a bit curious, looking especially at our catamaran and we all got a good look at this beautiful whale<\/a>. We also encountered bottlenose dolphins<\/a>, common dolphins<\/a> and Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a>. By the afternoon the fast travelling whale had already left but we had more wonderful encounters with common dolphins and Atlantic spotted dolphins. Another perfect day out on the sea. Our swimming boats had the great luck to swim with all three species of dolphins.<\/div>\n
