Step aboard and discover our marine wildlife, from cetacean to seabirds, pelagic fish or even sea turtles!


During this trip we departure in the quest for dolphins. As marine biologists, we will give you an insight into the amazing life of these marine mammals and all the environment that surrounds us.

Cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) are the only marine mammals that live all their lives in the aquatic environment. In our coast several species occur year round, some regularly and others seasonally or occasionally. We have a very high success rate finding dolphins.

The species we encounter more often are the Common dolphin, the Harbour porpoise, Bottlenose dolphin and Risso's dolphins. Ocasionally we have other wild visitors such as the Minke whale, Killer whales or Striped dolphins!

 

In what concerns the aerial visitors, we frequently watch Northern gannets, Cory's shearwaters, European storm petrels, among others, depending on the season. We also organize seabirdwatching trips. If you are a keen birdwatcher, check here!

But dolphins and seabirds are just a part of this adventure: depending on the season, we might find the Blue shark, Hammerhead-Shark, Sun-fish or even Sea-turtles.

 

These trips do not have a previously defined route. This mainly depends on factors such as weather conditions or last known animals' known location.
