\n<\/a>Today we had a lovely day full of cetaceans, two species of dolphins and fin whale<\/a>s both in the morning and the afternoon. In the morning we were lucky to see common dolphin<\/a> and striped dolphins<\/a> as well as the whales. In the afternoon we were lucky to see the whales very close. We had a group of 4 fin whales sometimes swimming right up to the boat passing very close so we could see their bodies through the water. They were feeding and turning to their sides and showing us their pectoral fins like they were waving to the boat and our clients. I think today the photos will speak for themselves: <\/div>\n
