Weekly Update January #4

Not a single tour for a whole month.. Something that doesn’t happen since the pandemic in 2021! What a disaster!
February doesn’t show signs of improvement, with poor sea conditions until 10th but more likely after 13th

 

Weekly Update January #3

No chances for tours for the next 2 weeks, we’ll hope for an improvement of the sea conditions, but the wave height is far above our threshold, it will have a long way to improve.

Weekly Update January #1

No tours this week, despite 2 good weather days, there weren’t enough bookings to go out…
This following week we expect overall poor sea conditions all week. Wednesday 14th will have the best weather but wave height is likely too high. Sea conditions aren’t expected to get better until Monday 19th.

Weekly Update December #4

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.

Ahoy, intrepid explorers! This past week was 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 36 months since the last failed ocean tour.
We sighted 1 dolphin species, the common dolphin. No whale watching this week… And the Tagides group has not been spotted for 125 days.. So be aware of those party boats selling river cruises with dolphins, there haven’t been dolphins in the river.
For the bird watchers, we’ve seen: Storm petrel, Northern Gannet and European shag.
All tours rated 3 stars on our scale
We had to travel an average of 60Km to find the dolphins and return, which took ~2h58 to cover it. On average we hosted 6 guests per dolphin watching tour and 0 seasickness cases.
Sea state was on average sea state 3.
This following week we expect overall poor sea conditions most of the week, with Thursday 8th the best day to do a tour. Saturday is also looking promising, will have to keep an eye on how high will the waves be.
