Sotogrande in Spain has been revealed to be the latest dolphin observation destination for WeWhale.

The marine area around Sotogrande in Andalucia is one of the top places in the Mediterranean Sea to observe several types of dolphin species all year round. The most commonly seen species are common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins and striped dolphins, and with a bit of luck, migrating fin whales or sperm whales can also be seen in the waters.

WeWhale’s eco-friendly hybrid vessel, ‘Bretema’, is equipped with a hydrophone and along with its low freeboard, it provides the best possible impressions for guests while observing dolphins in their natural habitat.

Founder of WeWhale, Janek Andre, said, “We are excited to launch Sotogrande as our latest dolphin observation destination and we look forward to welcoming guests on board to enjoy an eco-friendly and animal-friendly experience with us. Sotogrande is a spectacular destination, just 25 kilometres northeast of Gibraltar, and we’re delighted to now have a base there and to be part of the community.”

Guests can join WeWhale on board for three new experiences, available to book from now until 31 October. There are two daytime dolphin observation experiences, which can be booked as part of a shared group experience or as a private experience for friends, family, workmates etc.

A private sunset experience, where guests can enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets on the coast of Sotogrande while searching for dolphins, is also available to book. ‘Bretema’ departs from Puerto Deportivo de Sotogrande.

The WeWhale team is motivated to take guests out into the ocean in small groups, explaining about the ocean, the importance of its inhabitants, and bringing greater understanding to the world of whales and dolphins.

The team actively contributes to ocean conservation efforts by utilising nets to clean up ocean garbage and by looking out for animals ensnared in fishing lines. Furthermore, the team surveys the marine area for any possible wildlife crimes such as harassment towards dolphin pods or whales.

In addition, 7.5% of the net revenue from WeWhale experiences is donated to non-profit organisation, WeWhale Association, to help fund a range of dolphin and whale protection projects.
