Beautiful Dolphin watching in wild…
This is amazing @HugoMarques , what a great experience!
I witnessed this once myself and I it’s so great to see these animals in their natural habitat. I’ve heard that they sometimes follow boats for hours.
Was this a planned excursion to see the dolphins or were you just at the right place at the right time?
Hi @MortenSI
Yes I confirm that the dolphins come to play with the boat’s when they want. Here in Setubal we have a resident population of dolphins, about 27 that can be seen all year.
About the tour, I’m the one that drive the catamaran to see the dolphins.
That’s awesome @HugoMarques , it must be nice seeing these dolphins all the time and being out the fresh air.
Can the tourists go for a swim with the dolphins too or is that not recommended?
@MortenSI yes, it’s very good to be in contact with nature every day, the dolphins interact with us most of the times.
About swimming with them I don’t recommend, despite all they are wild animals and we never know what can happen.
But we always stop for swimming after seeing the dolphins.
It sounds like the coolest job to me @HugoMarques , I’ve never seen dolphins up close like this.
I’ll make sure to cross it off my list the next time I have the chance.
