No guest seems to care if we see dolphins and few are the ones that want to know which dolphins we saw. So we created the page about what everyone seems to care about. The last tours that we didn’t see any dolphins!
Only Birds…
In January 2023 we saw nothing but sea birds on an Ocean tour (this is likely the tour that you will be going). Quite good sea conditions, no reason to have failed.. unfortunately this trip was featured on a youtube channel… quite an impression uh? Prior to this one, was in July 2021.
There was a coastal tour in May 2023 that we only saw seabirds. It’s an extinct shorter tour, that despite extending to the 3h, like the ocean tour, we saw nothing due to very bad sea conditions. We got a 4 star review on airbnb experiences for it and we did a partial refund for direct bookings.
Also in May 2023 we missed the dolphins on a river tour, a tour focused in the city sightseeing and despite going all the way to the river mouth, no dolphins were seen.
On November 2023, we missed the dolphins on a custom tour on a large boat and we failed to see them. This is the reason for doing our regular tours on a speedboat, as speed means more area covered. Prior to this one, was in December 2021.
On May 2024, we didn’t had enough guests to do a tour so we cancelled it. Upon agreement with the guest, we transferred her to our colleagues on an afternoon tour. Due the bad sea conditions they didn’t saw any dolphins and got very wet… This is the reason we rarely go out on the afternoon.
No dolphins BUT
On August 2024, was the last time with didn’t saw dolphins, but we did find killer whales. Technically orcas/killer whales are dolphins, but the experience is more similar to a whale watching experience than a dolphin watching experience, so we included this one.
On April 2024, we did find risso dolphins and harbour porpoise, but in both cases for 10 seconds each, quite a disastrous tour… this was the last 1 star rating tour.
On August 2023, was our last tour that we only found one whale, no dolphins. Prior to this one, was back in 2018.
