27.07.2017 – A day like this

Days like these are unforgettable! So, today it was for many, many guests as it was for our great, amazing, fabulous land crew which managed to come out on the ocean to experience marine mammals for themselves. So it was for the crew on board. We had many great trips with beautiful, special sightings! We like this at most! We encountered: Atlantic Spotted dolphins (the stars of the morning), Blainville Beaked whales and Pilot whales (the stars of the afternoon and evening). The round headed Pilot whales came in close contact with the boat and won quite a few hearts. What a precious gift we always get from these wild and free animals, when they interact with us. What a good reason to protect the ocean and these animals.
