\nWhat a wonderful morning we had today at sea! As a first sighting, we met a humpback whale<\/a>! Before we got to the area, we could already see her blow!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nIt was a large humpback whale that made everyone really excited. <\/span>We believe that it may have been a female because when it comes down to the size of males versus females, the females win as they are larger than the males. Although it was a cloudy day, we could see this whale perfectly and its white pectoral fins underwater. It was great to enjoy the company of this humpback whale. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThen, aboard our catamaran Cetus, we saw a small group of common dolphins<\/a>. We saw them briefly because today these dolphins did not seem to be in the mood to show themselves to us. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nTo finish the trip, we saw a very good group of bottlenose dolphins<\/a>. They were very active, jumping and playing with the waves caused by the boats.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n It was an incredible morning, and hopefully more baleen whales will come out to visit us after today!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
