Ahoy, intrepid explorers! This past week has been great for dolphin sightings, and we’re excited to share the highlights with you! We are the most successful dolphin watching boat in Lisbon, with 26 months since the last failed ocean tour. We found at least a second group in all dolphin tours. We sighted 1 dolphin species, the common dolphin. We also found harbour porpoises. No whale watching this week…For the bird watchers, we’ve seen: Northern Gannet, Balearic Shearwater, European shag and common murre.All tours rated 3 stars on our scaleWe had to travel an average of 73Km to find the dolphins and return, which took ~3h08 to cover it. On average we hosted 5 guests per dolphin watching tour and 0 seasickness cases. Sea state was on average sea state 2.Our CO2 emissions were 5.4 Kg per guest, a 41% improvement from last year.This following week we expect poor sea conditions, with Wednesday 12th being the only day with low seas but the wind still has to improve. It is likely that all tours that could happen this week will have to be restricted to the river. Conditions will finally improve on the weekend with Sunday 16th showing good sea conditions!
