Both morning and afternoon trips, our guest were delighted to see the cousins, as we say. Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and Pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) and they had the ocean to themselves. These species are often seen together and share same level of intelligence, have a close bond with their families and keen awareness of their surroundings.
