23.11.2020 – Day of the restrained
Before the next stormy weather, we had the chance to go out to sea. It didn’t take long until we had the first sighting. It was a group of reticent Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). There was a very brief approximation,…
04.11.2020- Do not disturb
Weather is an all-decisive factor in our line of work. Strong winds can make detecting cetaceans at the surface extremely difficult for our spotter while a larger swell makes it harder for our crew to remain with a group of…
24.10.2020 Blue surprises
This morning, silence and peace spread like a fine cloth over the blue of the Atlantic. There was softness in the air. The encounter with the Short-finned Pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) was like a dream bathed in blue. The animals…
23.10.2020 – Three things in common
We met a very unusual combination of marine mammals this morning. Shortly beforehand, one of our interested little guests asked me whether Pilot whales can also be found with dolphins. Yes they are! And then usually with Bottlenose dolphins. But…

How wonderful. That doesn’t happen every day, but today we were really spoiled. The encounter with the oceanic kindergarten of the Short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) was something very special! One of the important subgroups in a dolphin school is…
19.09.2020 – Residents & pelagics
The extensive exchange of information and being open to learning more about marine wildlife is an essential component in conducting responsible encounters out at sea. Our team does its best to adapt approaches to the animals to the given situation…
10.09.2020 – Silver seas
Windy seas with a strong glare from the overcast sky aren’t exactly the perfect conditions for finding animals out at sea. On top of that, a curtain of mist stretched along the coastline of the Southwest obscuring the eagle eyes…
03.09.2020 – Eternalised
Our snorkelling dolphins were rather well hidden beneath this morning’s placid ocean and camouflaged amongst the many other species that were passing through the waters of the Southwest. Our spotter was able to guide our boats to groups of Bottlenose…
02.09.2020 – Chubby, little Guardian Angel
Not every day, but now and then there is this sprinkle of ocean enchantment in the air. So happened today without a doubt. It was a tour where marine mammals became angels of the seas and the air was filled…
