\nToday we went out with our catamaran Cetus and with one of the zodiacs taking almost 50 guests with, eager to discover this sea. The wind was just an impression and the water was waveless looking like a mirror reflecting the completely clear sky and the warm sunbeams.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nOur spotter had seen a group of dolphins surfacing and so we started heading East along with the beautiful shore line, enjoying the rocky coasts and the mountains above. After arrival we concluded it was a group of common dolphins who received us in the area by coming to our bow and adopting this typical behaviour of bow-riding, almost like dancing with each other at our front while making opportunity of the small waves produced by the boat to save some energy while travelling and at the same time letting us watch them really really well. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWe spotted some juveniles in the group and one individual jumping and splashing it’s body against the water and at a certain point the birds gathered together in the sky and the feeding behaviour by the dolphins chasing the fish started. <\/span><\/div>\n

\nSome miles ahead we also came to find other group of common dolphins spotted through the boat while we were passing by them, but in this group we only saw adult individuals. Both of the groups found today were medium-sized, so who knows if all this animals weren’t navigating towards each other to meet and re-group with a greater dimension. Also during the morning we were able to spot great skuas, velellas and one shark.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nTo finish don’t forget that if you are prone to get seasick it’s better to eat dried or simple sugarless foods before the trip and\/or bring a snack for the way.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today we went out with our catamaran Cetus and with one of the zodiacs taking almost 50 guests…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22363,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[10,13,4,166,5,22,210,211],"yoast_head":"\nGorgeous common dolphins in flat water -
