We counted several hundred animals, mainly females with their calves. Among them we also discovered a newborn, which could only be a few days old, as one could clearly see the birth stripes.
On the 07th of May we observed three species of dolphins playing together. Even our two experts on board could not remember ever having observed anything like this.
The first trip of the season was an impressive experience. The sea was calm and the visibility clear. We were greeted by several hundred lively Striped and Common Dolphins, which accompanied us for a long time.
This year the season lasted from the 18th of June to the 31st of October 2021. Thanks to little wind, except for a 10-day Levante period in October, we were able to enjoy many sight-seeing trips.
On the 6th of August we had enough time to observe the female Orca Lucia and her two cubs: Lucia caught a tuna, which she passed on to her daughter Estrella, who is about 3 years old.
Some Orcas in the Strait of Gibraltar love sailing boats to bits. This is how you could describe their new behaviour since the end of the corona-related lockdown in Spain.
