On our midday tour today, our guests experienced Stenella‘s three times. Our interactive Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) showed themselves in the best manner. The subsequently sighted Striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba), unfortunately, behaved like typical, cautious. And the third Stenella species? Stenella Lobosonda, our speedboat, which, like the two species of dolphins, can glide very quickly through the sea.
In the evening tour, we met the Atlantic spotted dolphins again. This time, a little calf stole the show from the rest of the group. But where was mom actually? It seemed like she was keeping her little one on a long leash. It took the chance and made great leaps.
