\nToday we had a great day out on the ocean.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn the morning we encountered four different species! <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe started with a group of sperm whales<\/a>, that was also in the same area as some bottlenose dolphins<\/a>. In total we encountered 5 different sperm whales, including two young juveniles. Next we had a group of Risso’s dolphins<\/a> that we managed to see very well, and finally common dolphins<\/a>. There were many common dolphins spread out across a large area today. From our dolphin swimming boats in the morning they reported swimming with at least 150 common dolphins! <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn the afternoon we had just as many common dolphins to see. We estimated maybe up to 200 of them, including many tiny calves which were a delight to see. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe feel very lucky to have had such great encounters today.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
