\n<\/a>The Atlantic spotted dolphins<\/a> have returned to us for another summer! We had already seen them twice earlier this month, but this morning was the first time this year that we encountered a really large group of more than 60 spotted dolphins<\/a>. During this morning’s tour we also sighted a large and curious group of bottlenose dolphins<\/a>. We had dolphins everywhere, including many small babies of both species.<\/div>\n
