\nWe saw the summer species, the spotted dolphins<\/a>, in the morning! <\/span><\/span>
\nBut, we first spotted a small calm group of bottlenose dolphins<\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSoon after
\nthat we headed out towards the spotted dolphins! And they were in a huge pod!
\nAbout 300 of them! <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\nMany calves and juveniles were present in this pod. The
\njuveniles really gave us a show and were throwing themselves out of the water!
\nSome were jumping upside down, some were slapping their bodies at the surface,
\nand some were even coordinating their jumps. It was a great show! <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe also
\nmanaged to see some bowriding on our catamarans, which allowed us to see the
\nabsence of spots on the bodies of the juveniles. The spots on the spotted
\ndolphins only develop when they are more matured. <\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nOn the way back one of our ribs (zodiac boat) stumbled across some risso’s dolphins and one of them breached multiple
\ntimes, it was spectacular! <\/span><\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/p>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\nOur other catamaran managed to see the bottlenose
\ndolphins a second time and they looked like they were attempting to mate in
\nfront of the boat. <\/span>They were more curious this time!<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn the afternoon our boats went to the West of S\u00e3o Miguel to see, after a long trip, a really curious group of spotted dolphins that approached us during all the time we were there with them!<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n Afterwards some sperm whales appeared close to the catamaran and what a show, really calm animals with the sun hitting us providing an impressive sight to all our guests who happily said goodbye to them as they dived showing amazing tails and they made our day since in the morning there were no sperm whales<\/span><\/div>\n
