"Off in the distance were silhouettes of something large jumping and making tremendous splashes. We were sure it was a huge school of very big tuna. As we got close enough to see what it was, it turned out to be a mammoth group of pilot whales. There were literally hundreds of them."
"As the boat got closer, they came over to check us out and began to swim alongside the boat the way porpoises do. We watched them for over an hour with not one tuna in sight," he continued.
The humpback whales come twice a year, from the Northern Hemisphere in January and February, and in August and September from the Southern Hemisphere.
Mothers will bring their calves into the Golfo Dulce, and when they are here, sighting them is almost a daily occurrence as they teach their young how to feed on their own and breach.
