Dolphin and Whale Watching - An unforgettable experience
Contemplating the sea is tranquilizing, but to live a true adventure in the ocean aboard a Catamaran is a fascinating and adrenaline-filled experience! We cast off and watch the bright green of the island contrast with the deep blue of the ocean, while we set off to discover the other inhabitants around us: whales, dolphins, and even wild turtles roam the seas in search of food and rest beneath the rocks of the coast.
With our eyes peeled and camera in hand, we spot these cetaceans in the sea swell, and it's a real surprise to see when they come close to us! When the sea and weather conditions allow, it's possible to go diving and snorkeling, setting out to discover the species that only reveal themselves in the depths of the Atlantic.
The crew of the Catamaran share their knowledge with us and explain the types of dolphins and whales we will encounter, from the common dolphin to the bottlenose dolphin, the blue whale or the sperm whale, the different corals and algae, and species such as moray eels, anemones or the very rare monk seal whose habitat is still found near the island.

The most amazing sunset from the sea
We all go through the day at our own pace in different ways. So does nature, and that is why it is fascinating to observe marine life at different times of the day, at its own pace, be it in search of food, small migrations, changes in light and temperature. To be able to live these experiences aboard a Catamaran, at the end of the day, with the light of the sunset and surrounded by an immense ocean is one of the best memories we take from the island; the feeling of being part of something great where we don't intervene in anything but observing, and seeing that in nature everything happens harmoniously.
