\nAt this time of the year we often see more baleen whales than sperm whales<\/a>, but they are always around and this morning we spotted them. They were feeding and showed us two tails! During the morning tour we also found a pod of common dolphins<\/a> quite active. In the afternoon we sighted a shy group of Risso’s dolphins<\/a>, the third resident species in the day, but it was quick because our lookout had something else to see … fin whales<\/a>!<\/div>\n
