\nToday has been a wonderful day! We’ve spent the morning with a mum and a baby blue whale<\/a>. And the mother has shown its tail!! It’s a good sign for this endangered species, to see a new addition to the population! We also plaing and feeding bottlenose dolphins<\/a> around with Cory’s shearwaters<\/a> flying over. <\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn the afternoon, we have been very lucky to see the two largest animals in the world: a feeding fin whale<\/a> and a huge blue whale<\/a> always moving fast. Later on we moved to a family of sperm whales<\/a>, 5 all together and at least 3 more further away! The ocean was full of whales all around! To finish the tour we ended up with a nice group of common dolphins<\/a>, once again, with plenty of babies around.<\/span><\/div>\n
