27.08.2019 – Prato do dia
“Prato do dia”, what does that mean? “Daily special!” And what was on the menu of our Atlantic Spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis) today? Flying fish (Exocoetidae) was the dish of the day. The small, nimble dolphins were spreaded over a…
26.08.2019 – Role reversal
Out on the waters with Lobosonda can mean one of two experiences: either speeding across the water on our rapid Stenella, built for exactly this purpose, with twin engines that get us exactly where we want to be in no…
25.08.2019 – Snap, crackle.. pop!
Our moments on the ocean are a feast for the senses. The smell of salt, the beautiful animals we are able to see and the wide array sounds that ring through the air…and the water. The guides aren’t the only…
24.08.2019 – Me or you on me????
Sometimes out there in our blue office it gets really tricky! How is that with our observations? Lobosonda officially offers observations of marine mammals (cetaceans) to its guests. But did you know that Lobosonda apparently also offers observations of humans…

As different as we all are from each other, so too are the whales, different even more, in size, shape, behaviour, favourite food, and favourite pastime. When a large dolphin like the Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) shows up to our…
20.08.2019 – Parrot beaks, Amber and a rare guest
In the morning our Ribeira Brava glided over a bright blue sea and our young families with their children got to know the Atlantic Spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis). Maybe an unforgettable experience for our very young guests? A few Pilot…
19.08.2019 – Hang loose
When you think of surfers, you think of a bunch of longhaired dudes on a beach, patiently waiting for waves to come their way, finding their balance as they carve through the water. But there’s a much more skilled surfer…
18.08.2019 – A long long time ago
In a land far away, our story begins. In the Eocene about 50 million years ago that is, in a place we now call Pakistan, with Pakicetus inachus an ancestor to all whales today. Pakicetus looked a little bit like…
