\nDuring our
\nmorning tour we had the  opportunity to
\nsee the rare Bryde’s whale<\/a> again. We encountered several individuals that
\nsurfaced close to our boat. We were able to view them for quite some time. It
\nis really special for us to see this species again after an absence of 4 years.
\nWe only started to see them again last Friday. We confirmed the sighted species by looking at our photographs of the top their heads, which have 3 parallel ridges on them, rather than only one ridge that similar species have.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nOn our
\nafternoon tour we encountered the Bryde’s whales again. We were also lucky
\nenough to get a quick look at our famous Sperm whale Mr Liable who showed us
\nhis magnificent tail fluke before he went on a deep dive. On both trips we also saw
\nbottlenose dolphins<\/a> which were very playful. <\/span><\/div>\n
