15.10.2025 – Rain. So. Much. Rain.

Published by Hannah Carstens on October 23, 2025

We started the day with incredible sightings of Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) and Sperm whales (Physter macrocephalus) but, also, rain, so much rain. By lunchtime everyone was soaked to the bone and in need of a hot drink. As the day continued, the rain dwindled but so did sightings. We saw Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) after lunch. For the last trip of the day, we went without sightings but our guests still enjoyed a bumpy ocean ride with a beautiful rainbow on our way back to the marina.
