Today, our trip was to the West side of the island. Our lookout spotted a humpback whale, but it was very difficult to follow. However, we went to the designated area, at least to try our luck. Unfortunately, we did not find the whale.
So we decided to go to another area with some Risso's dolphins. We saw two animals: one older, almost white in totality and another younger. This is the way to distinguish the new animals from the older ones: through coloration. The Risso's dolphins are born black or dark grey and over time they get lighter.
After seeing the Risso's dolphins, we met a big group of common dolphins!
Then, a little farther from the coast, another huge group of bottlenose dolphins to end the trip.
It was a long trip but we saw three of our resident species. 😉 The humpback whale was not in the mood today. Who knows about tomorrow...
