In Pico Island, the whale watching day was a matter of jumps. We started with a female sperm whale jumping quite high.
Then we saw a group of risso’s dolphins. Since they didn’t want our company, we let them swim away. After that, we saw bottlenose dolphins jumping almost towards our boat! It was so close we could almost distinguish if it was male or female. Was do you think?
By the end of the trip we even had some more common dolphins to watch!
