\nToday, despite a rough sea, we had great whale watching and swimming tours during the morning and afternoon. In the morning we saw nice pods of common dolphins<\/a>, Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> and bottlenose dolphins<\/a> surfing the waves. In morning we also had time to see a female sperm whale<\/a>.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nDuring the afternoon again we had fun pods of Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> and bottlenose dolphins<\/a> and we had a quick look at 3 beaked whales (in a group). On the way back the people on the catamaran also saw a small hammerhead shark<\/a>.<\/div>\n
