24.08.2017 – Huge – small – mini

We needed patience on our search for marine mammals during our morning trip but finally we met Pilot whales. Unfortunately four boats tried to see these animals and for that reason we decided to leave this area. Thank you to our guests which were very understanding and preferred as well a respectful handling on this situation.

During our afternoon and evening trip we had beautiful situations with two Tropical whales, mother and calf and lots of Atlantic Spotted dolphins. I still remember one picture: the long back of the huge mother, followed by the shorter back of the small calf, followed by lots of mini tiny dolphin backs.
