19.08.2021 – Movie time

Published by Marlene Cabral on August 26, 2021

This morning we had a young expert on board of our Ribeora Brava. I was very impressed by what he knew. I always find it nice when our young guests know a lot about nature. First we could see a school of Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) circling around. The Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) afterwards were very interactive with each other and with us.

On the Stenella at noon there were opposites, first a school of nimble Atlantic spotted dolphins and then a group of calmly drifting Pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus).

The evening tour required a lot of patience and a long wait from our guests. But, as it is, when you are very patient and the experience then occurs, the joy is huge. It was like that in the end. All guests were thrilled to see Atlantic spotted dolphins in action.

Since a lot of guests asked me for movie tips today, it’s movie time … here are a few recommendations:
