OUR PROJECT
We are a team of marine biologists who consider ocean conservation a priority, and who merge tourism and marine research. Our tourist trips are designed to collect scientific data mainly on cetacean species (whales, dolphins and porpoises), but also on other marine fauna (turtles, large pelagic fish and seabirds). This wealth of information, collected over the long term (more than 20 years!), is available for scientific analysis by our staff, partners, students and volunteers, who in turn produce information for dissemination to the general community, the scientific community and the relevant conservation bodies. We develop our own scientific projects and actively participate in scientific projects with other partners.
With our dolphin and seabird watching trips and coastal tours we aim to raise awareness of environmental issues, monitor cetacean populations and at the same time promote responsible tourism.We believe that our project is important because it has enabled us to monitor the species that occur here and contribute to their management and conservation.
…. by joining us, as well as enjoying contact with nature in its wild state, you will also be contributing to the development of our research activities.

MANIFEST FOR THE SEA
We believe that the sea is fundamental to our planet and to human beings in too many ways. We cannot live without the sea.
Our project is based on the premise that marine tourism should not only be to enjoy the sea, but should also give back by contributing to the preservation of nature and the oceans.
Our contribution has fundamentally been reflected in the advancement of the knowledge we have about the marine species that exist in the region, which is passed on:
- on a daily basis, to those who visit us, in the form of sharing what we know;
- through our passion and respect for the sea;
- aesthetically, through the images we capture;
- scientifically, with our peers, with whom we share, analyse and research;
- with our students, whom we teach but also learn from;
- in any way we can, since we intend to raise everyone’s awareness of the importance of the sea.

Ocean Lab is not only the name of our space but also projects our mission. Here is where our tours start, our ideas come up, and our projects get roots to grow. It’s our base. Where the team meets, and where we receive students. We also have a small informal collection of pieces that together make our museum a dream come true – all found at the beach, washed ashore, or brought from the ocean depths by our fisherman friend. Ocean creatures’ skeletons, shells, sea stars or even cuttlefish eggs are some of the things that you can find. Here you may also learn how we use every tour as an opportunity to survey and collect data on marine biodiversity inhabiting our waters.
We can´t live without it and we aim to keep it blue: our ocean, our planet.
TEAM
We work with 2 types of boats: RIB’s and a motor yacht.
The RIB’s are fast boats, safe and modern, perfect if you are looking for the thrill of an oceanic adventure while searching for dolphins and other marine life, or to enjoy the beautiful landscapes from our coast. The yacht is the perfect option if you are looking for a customized tour, and if you have a preference for a more spacious, comfortable and exclusive tour. Check our “Private tours” for more details.
