12.01.2021 – Nomad
Finding animals out on the Atlantic can be quite tricky but identifying them at sea can also present quite a challenge for the crew working to achieve sightings for our guests. The first cetaceans we met on this mornings tour…
11.01.2021 – Coordinated & effective
After a stormy cold first week of 2021 our Stenella finally set out with a small group of guests this afternoon. As we left the marina our spotter called and guided our zodiac to a small, concentrated group of Atlantic…
30.12.2020 – A typical duo
In today’s waves a school of Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) surfed happily and, as so often, we also met Short-finned Pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) in their vicinity. This is a typical duo. These two marine mammal species are often found…
22.12.2020 – A better place
The cloudy sky cast a grey glare onto the Atlantic Ocean this morning as we set out to find dolphins aboard our zodiac. Our spotter soon managed to find a huddled group of Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) cruising two…

The ocean seemed almost desert-like this morning before our spotter discovered a small, shy group of Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) cruising close to the shore that were suddenly joined by a tiny group of Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis). After…

Smooth seas and dolphins are probably excellent ingredients for an amazing tour. A large school of the Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) was found quite close to the coast today. They moved very calmly over a larger area. There were…
11.12.2020 – Passive, dynamic and interactive
It’s hard to sum up the behaviour of whales and dolphins in a few words since they all have very different life cycles and social lives. One can, however, say that every single species displays its own unique sort of…
10.12.2020- Cultural criteria
Mankind has always been fascinated by the other particularly intelligent members of the animal kingdom and, although we are gradually beginning to understand how sophisticated other creatures indeed are, the notion of describing them with “human” characteristics such as “cultural”…
07.12.2020 – The full programme
We were more than excited to finally go on a tour on our Stenella again and, after being deprived from cetacean encounters on our zodiac for over two weeks, our team would have already been overjoyed at encountering a small…
20.11.2020 – Surface time
Many cetaceans, like the enormous Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) spend the majority of their time below the surface which often makes encounters with these impressive toothed whales a slight challenge. However, like all cetaceans, Sperm whales must return to the…
