Hello whalewatchers: We enjoyed a great sunrise at Punta Colorado this morning. Then we had a great walk and snorkel session. We left Punta Colorado and went offshore looking for wildlife. It didn’t take long to find some long-beaked common dolphin. A little further west, we came across a large area of smooth-tailed mobulas jumping. They covered about a 2 mile area. This is somethig that we hope to see on our trips, and when we do, it is such a treat. We still don’t have a clear picture as to what they are doing but it is fun to watch.
We left them and found an area of pilot whales, a big group spread out over a mile. We had some great looks. A little while after those pilot whales, we came across another big group.
To finish the day off we saw two sperm whales in the distance we didn’t get close to them before they dove but it was great to see.
Today’s photo is of the distinctive dorsal fin on a pilot whale.
