\nThe early baleen whale season continues with two fin whales<\/a>. We started our tour with a sunfish approaching and swimming just a meter from our zodiac. We traveled to the south east and saw our first fin whale. It was a juvenile and swimming in different directions so it was hard to see the whale. Our vigia<\/a> was watching an adult just a little bit to the south so we went to watch this one instead. It traveled in one direction and it was easier to watch and we all got a good look at this enormous animal. In the afternoon we did not resight the whales, but we encountered two groups of common dolphins<\/a>. Photos from the tours:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
