We are incredibly lucky to have such rich marine life in Guernsey - but one type of encounter stands out as a particular highlight - dolphins.  

​

We have three main species of dolphin frequenting our waters:

​

Bottlenose dolphins (as made famous by the TV series 'Flipper' and the only species we have come across so far)

​

Common dolphins with their hourglass markings underneath

​

Risso's dolphins who are usually heavily scarred with the marks of the squid they primarily eat

​

We follow the wildlife code and keep our distance - seeing these animals in their natural environment is a privilege we want to conserve - but sometimes they choose to approach the skis and play.

 

When they do it is an amazing experience!

​

We log all our sightings to provide data to the local wildlife authorities.  You can see a heat map of the locations of the sightings we have logged to date below...
