With our zodiac on drydock since this morning, the scorching sun and calm seas meant conditions were perfect for a leisurable trip aboard our traditional boat, the Ribeira Brava. The Atlantic also revealed a couple of its little treasures for…
04.03.2019 – Greyhounds & cheetahs
The guests on board our traditional boat were in for a treat this morning as we set out on a smooth, crystal-clear ocean accompanied by some warm sunshine. Our talented spotter, Carlos, had located a group of cetaceans further out…
19.02.2019 – Visibility matters

Who does not know this look through half-closed eyelids, the so-called bedroom view. If we have a morning tour, we see this view in the morning in the mirror or even with our guests 😉 Even with the marine mammals…
