25.07.2018 – Dolphins on the hunt
One very nice thing about our daily tours is that every day is different. We never know what exactly we will find on the ocean and therefore it will never get boring. Just one thing is always the same: we…
24.07.2018 – Life is a storyteller
Every day countless stories are spun, from life itself and personally. Sometimes exciting, sometimes sad, sometimes funny, sometimes exhilarating or ecstatic, sometimes with a bit of drama or with a happy ending … and sometimes it’s a complete success story!…
23.07.2018 – Be gentle not cruel
When we see Striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) which are typically reserved, we’re not that surprised … they’re just like that. There are exceptions and we had them yesterday for a short time and today again where we got precious moments with…
22.07.2018 – Stenella fan
We set out on a flat ocean and cruised along the coast on our traditional boat before braving the higher swell out at sea in our search for cetaceans. Our spotter informed us of a group of dolphins moving swiftly…

19.07.2018 – A cetacean combination
Eventful is definitely a word to sum up our tours today. The team on our snorkeling tour were successful in their search for Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) and even had the pleasure to encounter Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and…
18.07.2018 – Jumping Dolphins
It was quite windy when we left the marina today. We took a zig-zag route to avoid direct wave exposure of our traditional fishing vessel. Our course was directed to the West because our spotter had seen some fins off…
17.07.2017 – Who is annoyed about spots, has never gone with us!
The morning started with a large school of Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) who peacefully socialized with each other in different groups. Right from the beginning we were lucky enough to have the kindergarten group of dolphins in our area. The…
16.07.2018 – Flagship
Amongst the lovely group of guests on board our traditional boat during the afternoon tour was a young girl who had joined me on a tour one year ago. Since her experience with us in Madeira, Annabella decided that she…
