11.07.2018 – Giants of the depth
A ride on our zodiac “Stenella” is always refreshing, the nice airstream over the waves, a bit of spray here, a little jump in the swell there. It has been especially refreshing today. We got the information form our spotter…
04.07.2018 – Highspeed in the Ocean

Our traditional boat embarked on a rather long afternoon tour today, with a group of very friendly guests on a windy Atlantic ocean. The gusty conditions made it particularly hard for our team to locate cetaceans out at sea, which…
