It was as if the Common Dolphins swapped with the Bottlenose

2 February 2019 By Alan

On 24/01/2019 at 09:30 am, Kyle skippered the Algoa Bay Marine Vessel and excited Guests on a Whale and Dolphin spotting trip to St Croix.

Almost a repeat of our earlier trip this morning, except the Common Dolphins were replaced by Bottlenose Dolphins. Our Guests were enthralled with the Bottlenose Dolphins who swam next to the vessel for the better part of half an hour. When given the choice to return to St Croix for a closer look at the penguins our Guests elected to rather stay with the magical Bottlenose Dolphin pod for as long as they could. So special to share these moments with awesome guests.

The following was spotted:

Time Latitude Longitude Species Code Adults Calves Behaviour
10:18 33:51.957 25:43.790 BRY 2 Swimming
11:00 33:48.439 25:45.647 BOT 500 Swimming

Legend: SRW – Southern Right Whale | HBW – Humpback Whale | BRY – Brydes Whale | COM – Common Dolphin | BOT – Bottlenose Dolphin | HUMP – Humpback Dolphin | ORCA – Killer Whale/Orca.
