Eco Dolphin Cruise

I went in the 12 o'clock Eco Dolphin Cruise.
No swim with the dolphins tour is going today but I have to see the dolphins!!!

Didn't take long to find some dolphins.
And we saw soo many. They were hanging around the cut and were having a good time. Some came really close to the boat as well 😍

There were even two quit new born calf's, probably only a few weeks old. That was sooooo lovely to see.

These are in shore bottlenose dolphins. They have around 150 dolphins visiting the bay regularly and around 50 permanent residents dolphins. The water here is only 4-8 m deep and they are the lazy dolphins here. Thy only dive around 10 m deep and for about 5 minutes. The off shore bottlenose dolphins can dive up to 300 m deep and stay up to 20 minutes under water.

During summer they eat around 8kg of fish and squid per day. In winter it's around 16 kg per day to keep them warm. They get around 2,5 - 3 m long and weight around 230kg.

As we were starting to drive back suddenly the dolphins started to jump out of the water and the big hunt was on. Sooooo amazing to see! Never seen something like that. Wow they were all hunting together.Read more
